Established: 1927

Mission: ArtsWave is the lead planner, convener, promoter, and fundraiser of the arts. ArtsWave was the first and continues to be the largest community arts campaign in the nation.

Serving Our Community: Strong funding for the arts has allowed Cincinnati’s arts and culture scene to become a national draw and regional asset, creating a ripple effect of economic and community benefits. ArtsWave supports the work of 125+ arts organizations, school outreach programs, festivals, community centers, neighborhoods, and various collaborations through impact-based grants. ArtsWave’s funding model is based on achieving five key goals in their Blueprint for Collective Action in the Arts Sector, which affirms that the arts can put Cincinnati on the map, deepen roots in the region, bridge cultural divides, enliven neighborhoods, and fuel creativity and learning. These key values guide every action ArtsWave takes and every grant they award.
