About ArtsWave

Through gifts from tens of thousands of individuals and companies each year, ArtsWave funds and supports 100+ arts projects and organizations through impact-based grants.

The arts play an essential role in the success of our region. They attract national acclaim and drive tourism. They make our region a more attractive place to live and work. They bring vitality to our neighborhoods. They foster creativity and learning in our future leaders. They even help bring us together as a community across cultural divides.

Those impacts are made possible by your gift to ArtsWave, the nation’s first and largest community campaign for the arts and the Cincinnati region’s arts council.
