ArtWorks ArtDinner
August 25 @ 6:00 pm - 9:30 pm
Join ArtWorks for an unforgettable evening celebrating the power of art and community at our annual ArtDinner, where you will experience the fusion of culinary and visual arts while supporting our mission to create community impact through art. This intimate evening is one of our favorite events of the year and we hope you’ll join us!
Hosted at The Standard by acclaimed restaurateurs and historic preservationists Paul Weckman and Emily Palmer-Wolff, the evening will feature a gourmet multi-course dinner curated by Chef Weckman. The meal will showcase seasonal ingredients sourced from the chef’s own garden, complemented by a custom bar inspired by the evening’s playful theme: Back to School.
As we transition from summer into a new school year, we invite you to relive the energy of fresh starts and creative possibilities. Throughout the night, guests will enjoy intimate conversations with guest artists led by Colleen Houston, ArtWorks CEO and Artistic Director.
Featured Guest Artists:
-
William Cordova – A renowned contemporary artist whose work explores themes of transition, displacement, and cultural memory. Cordova will design a new mural with ArtWorks in Walnut Hills in 2025.
-
Pam Kravetz – A celebrated visual artist and educator known for her whimsical installations and deep connection to Cincinnati’s arts community.
