ESTABLISHED: 1996
MISSION: ArtWorks is an award-winning Greater Cincinnati nonprofit that creates community-based public art that provides career opportunities for artists of all ages.
SERVING OUR COMMUNITY: Since 1996, ArtWorks has employed more than 4,000 young artists, ages 14–21 and 3,500 working artists from the Greater Cincinnati area to create public art and civic projects. ArtWorks supports workforce development by providing seasonal employment for artists to work on large-scale murals and other public art projects; year-round employment for artists in creative enterprise driven studios; a signature Gallery Fellowship Program providing emerging artists an in-depth arts collaboration led by artists-in-residence, culminating in a group exhibition. ArtWorks provides a safe environment for a diverse community of underresourced youth and artists to thrive, positively impacting their community and their own personal development. Each program helps participants generate belonging, confidence, and leadership skills. ArtWorks has produced hundreds of installations of public art that have contributed to Cincinnati’s prominence in the national public art scene.
