CET is ME
VIP Event: Thursday, September 23, at 7pm
Join us to celebrate Dr. O'dell Owens. This VIP Event, which will be held just below The Singing Mural, on the south side of the CET Building, will include heavy hors d’oeuvres, beer and wine, entertainment by the Cincinnati Boy Choir and the image-mapping projection of the Singing Mural. The doors open at 7pm. The event takes place rain or shine.
Our Neighborhood Block Party: Friday, September 24, and Saturday, September 25, from 7pm to 11pm
The Singing Mural – like CET – has long been a staple at the entrance to the West End. Painted on the side of Greater Cincinnati’s PBS Station, the mural features many familiar faces – from Grover to Fred Rogers to Mr. Redlegs and many more.
On Friday and Saturday, CET is ME morphs into a brand new events – the Our Neighborhood Block Party. During this event, our partners at Brave Berlin will be lighting up the mural with a unique, one-weekend-only, image-mapping projection. The mural celebration and block party will be hosted outside on the surface parking lot behind the CET Building at 1223 Central Parkway. In addition to the show, there will be live music from Soul Pocket Band (Friday) and Elementz (Saturday), wine, beer, food trucks, PBS Characters and other activities.
Thanks to the event’s sponsors, CET is ME is now FREE and tickets are not required. Donations will be graciously accepted.

Looking to completely transform LIVE! on CET, Brave Berlin, the creators of Lumenocity and BLINK were invited to help us 'sing' our own song. This partnership was made possible by a generous donation from The Carol Ann and Ralph V. Haile Foundation.
With their help, we will offer an experience that will tell our story, past, present and future. The experience will be highlighted by a 'performance' by some of our closest supporters.
