Reds Hall of Fame exhibit opens at Fitton Center
HAMILTON, Ohio (WKRC) - There's some good news for Reds fans. Now there's a place to catch some of the coolest Reds artwork in the Tri-State.
The opening of the Reds Hall of Fame Museum Road Trip Exhibit was at the Fitton Center in Hamilton on Saturday.
It's blown me away, I have to say, said Ian Mackenzie-Thurley, Executive Director of Fitton Center. Our expectations were very high with this exhibition but the Reds have really hit it out the park.
Fitton Center will showcase some amazing Reds artwork, sculptures and memories while the Hall of Fame Museum undergoes a renovation.
Of course they've got bats and balls and jerseys and those sorts of things a Hall of Fame should have, but their art collection was outstanding, said Mackenzie-Thurley.
One of the artists is Price Hill native Chris Felix. More than 20 of his pieces are on the walls.
This particular exhibit has the most amount of work that I've had in one exhibit so it's very exciting time for me to be involved this, said Felix. Very proud, very lucky and honored to be a part of this.
The space in Hamilton is a perfect fit and function and you could say family. Hamilton is the home of Reds legend Joe Nuxhall.
Of course the old left-hander being around here, I mean it doesn't get much better than that, said Rick Walls, Executive Director of the Reds Hall of Fame Museum. The Nuxhall family and what they mean to the Reds is tremendous. We also have a chapter of the Reds Hall of Fame that's in the area.
Also on display, artwork from the InsideOut Studio. InsideOut provides opportunities for artists with disabilities-- a place to be creative and make and sell their artwork.
Of course the theme this time is Reds baseball.
The Road Trip Exhibit will be on display until March 5.
