Set your alarm early on Friday morning. It's the annual frame sale at the CINCINNATI ART MUSEUM, starting at 9 a.m., and the early bird gets the gilded cage. Use the DeWitt entrance. Info: 513-721-2787.

For several years, Quick Draw has given a boost to the Taft Museum of Art DAY CAMPS for children grades 3-8. Can't do it this time. Seems the program has become so popular that the enrollment for this summer session is completely filled ... and it doesn't even start until July 16. Congrat-ulations to assistant education curator, Windy Robinson, and teachers, Sarah Jane Bellamy and Heather Bollen, who formulate the activities for the Day Camp.

Heads up for young artists: First graders through high school students are invited to an open house at Memorial Hall on May 19 where they can submit designs and ideas for the METRO TRANSIT MOSAIC PROJECT, headed by artist Chad Scholten. He's responsible for the design execution, but involving the young community to submit ideas about everyday things which make up Cincinnati life will promote a feeling of public ownership and involvement with the new Riverfront Transit Center under Second Street, scheduled to open later this year. The center will be the hub for transportation to and from downtown and riverfront attractions, including the National Underground Railroad Freedom Center when it opens in 2003. Young artists attending the May 19 session will receive a variety of perks, including free Enjoy the Arts memberships, offering discounts on tickets to nearly everything worth doing around here. Three sessions are planned, separating the age groups in different time slots. All children must be accompanied by a chaperon and reservations for both are suggested. Info from Enjoy the Arts: 513-621-4700, ext. 3.

BERINGER-CRAWFORD MUSEUM puts the spotlight on students, too, this summer. The Kentucky Heritage Sculpture Project, led by KURT NICAISE, community artist-in-residence, has been in progress during the past school year. Now it's time to wind them up and put them out. Students have chosen the paleontological ages, the Ice Age (with a nod to the fossils found at Big Bone Lick State Park) and prehistoric Native American cultures from over 150 years ago. Weavings will be stretched into the trees representing ancient designs, and the beginnings of agriculture are represented by copper and iron sculpture. An opening celebration open to the public takes place on May 19 at 3 p.m. Info: 859-491-4003.
