Impact on the Region
The effects of art go far beyond the art itself
Our community has supported the arts and enjoyed a wide range of benefits as a result. We're proud of what we've built and share the responsibility for maintaining our investment.
Enhancing Communities
The arts create surprising ripple effects of benefits throughout Greater Cincinnati that benefit us all, such as:
Creating a Vibrant Economy
The arts create lively neighborhoods and revitalized communities, attracting residents and businesses.
Your support funds nearly 100 arts organizations across our region, engaging and providing opportunities to people throughout Greater Cicinnati.
Theaters, galleries, and art centers lead to more activity, restaurants, and shops where people go before and after events.
In turn, vibrant communities and neighborhoods are appealing places to live, work, and play, attracting more business and people to our region.
Connecting People
Art brings people together to share experiences and ideas.
From Anderson to Fairfield, Covington to Kennedy Heights-people from all walks of life come together, share expereinces, learn from each other, which enhances our ability to live and work together.
The arts connect our region. For example, peopl from all across our region came together to share the experience of a Playhouse production that toured community based art centers.
Enhancing Schools
Art helps schools succeed.
Integrating the arts in our schools-as both a core subject and as an aspect of how kids learn other subjects like history, math, and science-makes it possible for schools to succeed.
Arts organizations throughout the region actively engage hundreds of thousands of students through education and outreach programs every year.
The Fine Arts Fund launched an arts integration pilot for the 2009-2010 school year in four Cincinnati Public Schools connecting students with musicians, actors, and artists in the classrom to encourage creative thinking and success in all academic subjects.
