Taft Museum of Art

Education at the Taft When Anna Sinton and Charles Phelps Taft began collecting works of art, they aimed to assemble a diverse collection of works from around the world and provide it for study to local Cincinnatians. Since 1932, when the Taft residence became the Taft Museum of Art, its primary mission has been to educate through its collections and community programs. Bring art into your classroom through educator programs. Youth and family can capture the opportunity to advance artistic experiences. Groups can enjoy a tour led by an experienced docent.

The Carnegie

Afterschool Programming The Carnegie’s afterschool arts programs, ArtStop Artist Series and ArtStop on the Go, offer multi-week, creative programming for children that take place at The Carnegie or can be delivered “on the go” to collaborating schools and organizations. Taught by local teaching artists, ArtStop provides participants with opportunities to make creative choices in a range of artistic mediums, from acting to dance to visual arts. Students are presented with challenging projects that end with a culminating event, offering a sense of pride and satisfaction with their work. In School Programming The Carnegie provides arts integrated workshops and residences directly to the classroom for grades K though 8. Each program is designed to allow students an opportunity to create, perform/produce and respond. They focus on combining the elements of dance, drama, music, creative writing and visual arts with non-arts related content in order to strengthen creativity, problem solving, perseverance, communication and pride. In-school programming is designed to engage all students in higher-level-thinking and a true connection to why the arts matter. The Carnegie also provides professional development for classroom teachers through arts integration trainings, demonstration teaching, observations, lesson planning, assessment writing and more. Summer Programming The Carnegie’s summer program, Camp Carnegie, provides children with a comprehensive theatre experience. As a team, participants are given opportunities to write their stories and scripts, develop characters, rehearse, create costumes and backdrops and perform live in front of an audience. This fast-paced, student-driven program is a great deal of fun and encourages students to step out of their comfort zone and into the spotlight.

The Children's Theatre of Cincinnati

The Children’s Theatre of Cincinnati is the oldest children’s theatre in the country (and is the only professional theater in the region that devotes its entire MainStage season to children). We bring 105,000 people downtown annually. We reach over 70,000 students through our TCT on Tour productions, and TCT Academy offers arts training to children in a variety of disciplines. We are creating the arts patrons and performers of our city’s future. Our TCT MainStage at the Taft series includes daytime performances for school audiences and weekend performances for the public. Four Broadway-quality production runs are held each year (of which one is a world-premiere musical), with individual shows formatted into one-hour, family-friendly events. For each production, we present seven performances for public audiences and ten performances for school students, including one special sensory-friendly performance for select shows. TCT on Tour brings the magic of live theatre directly to those who would otherwise be unable to enjoy it. We typically tour six productions each season, serving children of all ages with titles taken from classic literature, fairy tales, history and other works studied in school curricula. The acting troupe travels with innovative sets, which are designed to be both portable and visually enticing. TCT on Tour prides itself on productions that are educational and entertaining, as well as affordable for schools and other venues across the broad geographic spectrum of Ohio, Kentucky, Indiana and beyond. TCT on Tour includes the WorkShop division, which takes a teaching artist directly into individual classrooms or after school programs, for a more interactive arts integration experience. WorkShops we offer examine contemporary concerns through the introduction of historical figures, such as The Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and Harriet Tubman; while other WorkShops bring social topics such as healthy eating, self-esteem and anti-bullying to life through theatre, music, writing and role-playing. TCT Academy offers arts training to children in a variety of disciplines through our 14-week, one hour/week class sessions, our one-week themed summer camps for introductory arts makers or our audition-based, three-week STAR Camp Red Bank program and one-month, audition-based STAR Intensive NKU summer program for children with demonstrated talent and interest in the performing arts.

Underground Academy of Cinematic Arts

The Underground Academy of Cinematic Arts is an arts/education nonprofit that is committed to helping students discover their stories through film/media/broadcast, providing teens with educational programming, competition, award recognition, teen experiences, and community. We values knowledge, training, and practice. Throughout the year, we provide day-long workshops, week-long summer camps, after school enrichment programs, semester courses, and social/learning experiences. We produce an annual, Midwest film festival for middle school and high school students, offering film screenings, college workshops, and an awards ceremony/reception in OTR.

Visionaries and Voices

Established in 2003, Visionaries + Voices is a non-profit organization that provides exhibition opportunities, studio space, supplies, and support to more than 125 visual artists with disabilities. V+V artists actively contribute to the greater arts community through creative, educational, and strategic partnerships with local and regional artists, schools, and business leaders. Collectively, we are growing a more inclusive arts community in Greater Cincinnati. MISSION The mission of Visionaries + Voices is to provide artistic, cultural, and professional opportunities for artists with disabilities. VISION We create a world in which artists with disabilities not only produce and share works of art, but are also given continuous opportunities to learn, develop professionally, collaborate, exhibit, and celebrate with community members.

Women Writing for (a) Change

For over 25 years, Women Writing for (a) Change® has provided a safe and non-competitive environment for individuals to develop their writing skills, cultivate their creativity and strengthen their voices. At WWf(a)C, our writers, whether first-timers or the more experienced, find community, connection and meaningful conversation within our writing circles. We encourage writing as a process of self-discovery and self-expression—a celebration of the individual voice. Our classes provide a unique setting in which honoring each other’s words enriches participants’ lives.

Wyoming Fine Arts Center

Since its founding in 1995, the Wyoming Fine Arts Center has become one of this region’s premier community art centers. We offer more programs to more students than virtually any other center in Greater Cincinnati. And we believe our personal approach to each student’s success is what sets us apart. Our Wish For Your Child We know that children learn best when they’re excited, inspired, and eager to learn more. But not every great musician or artist is also a great teacher. At the Wyoming Fine Arts Center, we choose our faculty very carefully, looking not only at their education but also their experience in teaching and working with children. We also keep our class sizes small, so teachers can get to know each child and what motivates them. “When your kids come to our Center, we want them to be inspired.” Milan Dukic, Executive Director The Story Behind Our Elegant Center The Wyoming Fine Arts Center is located in a beautifully restored 1850s home that served as the Wyoming Masonic Lodge for much of the 20th century. In the 1990s, local businessman Paul Bartel purchased the lodge with the vision of creating a community arts center. After renovations to the building were completed in 1995, he opened it as the Wyoming Fine Arts Center. Today, the Center touches the lives of nearly 1,000 people each week. It’s home to more than 40 teachers who offer dozens of classes in music, art and dance. In addition, organizations such as the Flying Cloud Academy of Vintage Dance, Cincinnati Civic Orchestra and Cincinnati Contra Dancers also use our facility as their home base for workshops, rehearsals, concerts and balls. The Wyoming Fine Arts Center is a 501-(c)(3) nonprofit, tax-exempt organization whose mission is to foster appreciation and skills in the arts for children and adults of all ages and abilities.
