Coming up at Thunder-Sky, Inc.
"Rejoice!: A Retrospective of Avtar Gill, Cincinnati's Hat-Man" opens Friday April 25, 2014, reception 6 to 10 pm. The shows closes June 13, 2014. Avtar Gill, known by many downtowners as The Hat Man, passed away early 2013, but he will always be remembered as a Cincinnati folk hero for the sign-emblazoned hats he wore while walking all across the city, and for his dedication to maintaining a strong, cultural voice and presence throughout his life. This exhibit will feature photographs, video, testimonials, stories, and actual hats and signs The Hat-Man left behind. Here are several of the signs and hats we'll be featuring. If anyone out there would like to contribute a story, of even a sign or other items Avtar gave them, please feel free to contact us. We're wanting the exhibit to show the full range of Avtar's cultural impact. [email protected]...
