Red Door

Join ArtWorks for our first Red Door event of the year on Friday, April 26 from 6–9 p.m. at the Art Academy of Cincinnati’s SITE1212, located at the corner of 12th and Jackson Street in OTR. Enjoy light bites, a cash bar, and a wide selection of art pieces available for auction. Admission is free, welcoming all to join this celebration of art and community.

For a decade, the Red Door Project has been a part of Cincinnati’s artistic landscape, providing a platform for local artists to shine. Founded in 2014 by Barbara Hauser, this initiative has championed creativity, inclusivity, and community engagement. As it marks its milestone 10th anniversary, the Red Door Project is set to transition into an ArtWorks program, ushering in a chapter of expansion and collaboration.

Since late 2020, the Art Academy of Cincinnati has been the driving force behind the Red Door Project’s endeavors. The next official Red Door Project event and official handover will take place at this event.

Artists interested in participating in the upcoming event are invited to submit their works under the theme of rEvolution. Artists of all ages must register to participate through an online submission form. Artwork must be dropped off between Monday, April 22 and Thursday, April 25, any time between 10 am– 4 pm, at the Art Academy of Cincinnati, 1212 Jackson Street. Any medium is accepted. Due to the nature of the space, only one work of art can be shown per artist. Upon sale, 75% of the highest bid will be paid to the artist, and 25% will go to support ArtWorks’ continued mission.

ArtWorks plans to host two additional events in summer and fall of 2024. Stay tuned for additional dates and information.
