ArtWorks has launched its new permanent art gallery, “Your Name Here,” at its newly renovated Creative Campus in Walnut Hills. The Your Name Here Gallery features artworks from ArtWorks artists-in-residence and emerging fellowship program participants. Four themed exhibitions are planned for 2025, highlighting a variety of mediums, including sewing, drawing, painting and illustration.

Previously, ArtWorks ran the pop-up V² Gallery, which opened in 2021 and was named Best Art Gallery in Cincinnati Magazine’s “Best of the City” that year. That gallery was designed to be temporary and housed in formerly vacant storefronts on McMillan Street in the heart of the Walnut Hills business district. The fellowship program, also launched in 2021, was supported by its namesake V² – Sara and Michelle Vance Waddell and Ron and David Nebel-Houck. V² (Vance-Waddell and Nebel-Houck) is the 2025 Season sponsor of the Your Name Here Gallery. Your Name Here is a nod to the creative professionals whose work will fill the space, the future great artists of Cincinnati. This gallery is presented by the Carol Ann and Ralph V. Haile, Jr. Foundation as part of ArtWorks’ Painting the Future Together Capital Campaign.

The gallery is on the first floor of ArtWorks’ new building at 2429 Gilbert Avenue in Walnut Hills. It showcases exhibitions of art pieces created in ArtWorks’ Gallery Fellowship Program. In its fourth year, this program gives young artists ages 16–24 hands-on experience and the chance to work alongside curators, collectors, and arts professionals. Participants create individual works that come together in group exhibitions, building skills and connections along the way. Applications for the program are accepted throughout the year in advance of each exhibition.
