Make a transformative gift to ArtWorks
When you give to ArtWorks, you’re not just making a donation—you’re making a direct investment in the people and places that shape our city.
For 29 years, ArtWorks has hired and trained thousands of youth apprentices, pairing them with professional artists to transform Cincinnati’s walls, neighborhoods, and public spaces into a living, breathing gallery. These young creatives gain critical career skills, mentorship, and confidence as they leave a lasting imprint on the city they call home.
From vibrant murals to bold public installations, every project tells a story of collaboration, creativity, and community. With more than 4,000 young artists engaged and over 14,000 public and private art projects created, your support helps us continue this powerful legacy.
Your gift fuels job creation, supports working artists, and ensures that all Cincinnatians—especially the next generation—see themselves reflected in the art that surrounds them. When you support ArtWorks, you help beautify the city, elevate artists, and strengthen the creative economy.
