A City That Rallies Behind the Arts

Cincinnati has always been a city where the arts and culture scene thrives because people rally behind it. That spirit of coming together continues to play out in the ArtsWave App, where thousands of people are discovering new ways to enjoy, support, and celebrate the arts.

Milestone: 1,000+ Arts Events and 80+ Dining Deals

The free Cincinnati events app now lists more than 1,000 arts and entertainment events across the region, all searchable in the Cincy A&E entertainment calendar.

It also connects users to over 80 restaurants and retailers offering exclusive ArtsWave Pass savings. That means hundreds of chances to see a show, hear live music or visit a gallery—and dozens of ways to enjoy local dining and shopping along the way.

Strong Community Response

People are embracing it. More than 18,000 people have downloaded the ArtsWave App, and 350 to 450 use it every day.

ArtsWave Pass members are especially active. Redemptions are up 257% from last year, a clear sign that more people are exploring, saving and supporting the arts through the app

What You’ll Find in the App

With so many options, it’s easy to see the appeal. You’ll find discounts on museum memberships and admission, perks at coffee shops, savings at local spots like New Leaf Florist or Cappel’s, and deals on interactive experiences like Immersive Gamebox
or Activate Games.

New partners sign on all the time. Recent additions include Mazunte Centro and Fusabowl, so there’s always something new to discover.

A Perfect ArtsWave Day

Picture a day built around art and flavor. Start with coffee at one of the 11 featured shops. Spend the afternoon at a Cincinnati museum using a discounted admission or membership. Catch a theater performance in the evening with a special ticket offer.

Finish with dinner or a cocktail at a participating restaurant such as Alice OTR, Somerset, or Crafts and Vines. Every stop supports the local businesses and artists who make Cincinnati shine.

Support the Arts While You Save

A $100 ArtsWave Pass donation unlocks a full year of savings and fuels the arts organizations behind those 1,000-plus events. For many members, the pass pays for itself quickly through the variety of Cincinnati dining deals and arts discounts.

Your contribution goes right back into the community, helping the arts flourish.

A Community Tradition of Support

Reaching 1,000+ events and 80+ dining and retail partners shows the strength of Greater Cincinnati’s arts scene and the people who power it. The ArtsWave App exists because residents, businesses and arts organizations work together.

Supporting the arts has always been part of this city’s identity. Each download, visit and donation is another way Cincinnati celebrates who we are as a community.
