Cincinnati Ballet
At the Cincinnati Ballet, Margaret & Michael Valentine Center for Dance, CAST CONNEX Architectural Tapers (ART) finish the ends of HSS columns that grace the entrances, creating an elegant finish that aims to reflect the building’s purpose.
The ARTs allow the stylistic columns to mirror the graceful lines of dance positions that inspired them. They seamlessly fuse form and function, resulting in a statement of timeless elegance and inclusivity.
