The corner of 25th Street and Ogden Avenue, dubbed “25th & Ogden,” is both a virtual location for events-related news on social media and a budding destination in the 3D world, where those seeking arts and culture in Ogden can find plenty to do on any given weekend.

The “25th & Ogden” social media pages on Facebook and Instagram, hosted by The Monarch, share “the happenings on the corner of 25th Street & Ogden Ave.” Things like weekend markets, concerts, musical theater and art exhibits in the Nine Rails Creative District and surrounding areas are highlighted.

This weekend is particularly buzzworthy, with two big names in the music industry, both visual artists, presenting their work at the “25th & Ogden” hot spot on Friday night. Wayne Coyne, frontman of the Flaming Lips, will attend the opening night of his art exhibit, “King’s Mouth,” featured at Ogden Contemporary Arts. And presented by Indie Ogden, the “Verbal Herman Munster” of hip-hop, Chali 2na, of music groups Jurassic 5 and Ozomatli, is performing and displaying his paintings on the Upper Deck of The Monarch.

In addition, the regular First Friday events — Open Studio Night and Van Sessions — will be going on simultaneously at The Monarch, and just steps away, the “You Belong” mural unveiling on 25th Street and Kiesel Avenue with local artist of the project, Cole Eisenhour.
