Proud of this man

After reviewing an impressive array of proposals from Cincinnati-area artists, the Cincinnati Art Museum is thrilled to announce the selection of Kenton Brett as the 2026 Rosenthal Education Center (REC) Artist in Residence!

Kenton Brett is a Cincinnati-based artist, illustrator, and animator. Owner and operator of Kentco Creative, his craft blends traditional art making with modern technology to tell short stories. He has worked closely with many of Cincinnati’s arts institutions with exhibitions at the Contemporary Arts Center, the Taft Museum of Art, Memorial Hall, the Blink Parade, and the Cincinnati Nature Center. Steeped in theater production and fabrication, Kenton was the Charge Scenic Artist for Cincinnati Playhouse in the Park and currently designs their “Off The Hill” touring series. As a longtime collaborator with ArtWorks, he values his experience leading teams of young artists to produce murals, stagecraft, and wearable parade art. He has a BFA from the University of Cincinnati DAAP in drawing and ceramics.

Inspired by the stark architectural forms of works in the CAM collection by Ralston Crawford and Aldo Rossi, Kenton Brett will transform the REC into an interactive exploration of light through a post-geometric landscape, opening May 23, 2026. Stay tuned for more information about Kenton’s residency and associated programming!

The dojo is closed tonight.
