Wave Pool's Pool Party

Come in your swim gear and be ready for an art-filled summer swim party! Enjoy food and drinks, music, games, and support a place that creates community fulfillment through artistic opportunity!

Our annual Pool Party, to be held in the streets, parking lots, and vacant grassy lots around Camp Washington an artist-driven block party on August 19th, 2023, from 12 – 3 PM. This event is a party for the neighborhood, featuring artist-driven interactivities, food, an artist-made games, and more! The giant inflatable waterslide outdoors will keep us all cool and entertained.

The Pool Party also features the 9×18 Parking Lot Art Experiment (an alternative / performative / experimental / live art fair), which takes over the parking lot next to Wave Pool’s firehouse. Viewers will be inundated with performance, art actions, experimental engagements, and ephemeral works.

We will also be debuting the finished street mural by Miranda Holmes and Hannah Parrett, Ohio Native Plants!

In order to make this event and next year a success, we are looking to raise $20,000. These funds will help support our Socially Engaged Artist and Curatorial Residency Programs, our educational wood shop, free community ceramics program, Artist Professional Development programs, and more. We need your help making our goal!
