This call for art aims to select an artist responsible for implementing a vibrant and engaging mural that enhances the community's character.
All proposals will be reviewed by a selection committee made up of PACO members and project stakeholders. The committee will then recommend up to three finalists to further develop their design concepts. There may be a public info session for input on the final design. A final artist will be selected for implementation based on their qualifications, vision, and ability to execute the project.

Oxford's 2023 Comprehensive Plan includes objectives to “promote parks, arts, and culture throughout the community” and an action item to “encourage creative placemaking for a more engaging community and visitor experience.” This project aligns with these goals by integrating public art into a prominent uptown location, creating an inspiring and inviting environment.
We encourage artists to review the Comprehensive Plan and develop a concept that aligns with the City’s vision for public art. The mural should appeal to a broad audience and be family-friendly. The selected muralist will work with a city representative to apply for and obtain a building permit and certificate of appropriateness from the Historic & Architectural Preservation Commission.

We encourage artists to interpret this theme liberally and apply with works that feature or address hiphop culture via traditional media (drawing, painting, printmaking, sculpture, etc.) or via non-traditional media including fashion design or street art media (tagging stenciling, postering or photographic/video documentation of street art). 
All submitted artworks must be exhibition ready - mounted or framed; the maximum measurement of any dimension (H,W,D) is 36”. 

ELIGIBILITY 
Artists located in the MidWest and South including the following states: Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Michigan, Kentucky, Tennessee, West Virginia, Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Mississippi, Louisiana, Alabama, Florida

Posted:
Apr 29, 2025
Presented by SunnyBlu Art Agency & We Outside Cincinnati
Exhibition Dates: July 5 – August 23
Location: The Gallery at Studeō PAR

Roots & Realities is a summer art exhibition that explores the deep and varied relationships between people and the natural world. Through visual storytelling, this show invites artists to reflect on how nature influences identity, memory, healing, and imagination. The exhibition will feature a curated selection of works that engage with themes of environment, heritage, personal reflection, and cultural narrative.

This collaboration between SunnyBlu Art Agency and We Outside Cincinnati is rooted in the belief that art has the power to foster dialogue and shift perspectives. While we welcome all artists to apply, we are especially committed to uplifting voices that have been historically underrepresented in environmental and outdoor spaces.

We invite submissions from artists working across disciplines—painting, photography, sculpture, installation, mixed media, and more—who are inspired by their connection to land, water, and the world around them. Whether your work is grounded in ancestral knowledge, personal experience, or a vision for the future, we are looking for pieces that speak to the complexities of nature and its role in our lives.

Artists selected for the show will also be asked to submit a short written reflection (1–2 paragraphs) about their work. These reflections will be displayed alongside the artwork to deepen audience engagement and offer insight into each artist’s connection to the exhibition themes.

Key Dates:
– Exhibition: July 5 – August 23
– Location: The Gallery at Studeō PAR
– Submission Deadline: May 20th

ABOUT THE GHOSTLIGHT:

The Ghostlight Stage Company is a nonprofit arts organization in the Greater Cincinnati area that is breaking down barriers and innovating new ways to experience the arts. The Ghostlight Stage Company is just as the name suggests. Similarly to how a ghost light in a theater is a constant reliable source of light at all times regardless of if the theater is open or not, we hope to be that for our community.

At The Ghostlight Stage Company, we constantly challenge the idea of what a "stage" can be with programming that inspires collaboration between all of the art mediums. With our founders being inspired by the way musical theatre encourages designers, dancers, composers, actors, directors, and more to collaborate and create something together.

The Ghostlight wants to take this idea even further with programming that goes beyond just traditional theatre. We prioritize our four core values in everything we do and pursue our mission through: community-engaging theatrical experiences, innovative interdisciplinary arts events, and unique educational programming for both youth and young professionals.

Teaching Artist Residency

Posted:
Apr 14, 2025
About ProjectArt
ProjectArt is a national award-winning arts education nonprofit that provides free, after-school art classes for underserved youth while supporting practicing artists through residencies. We partner with public libraries to activate spaces where artists teach, create, and engage communities. Our work addresses the growing opportunity gap in arts education, impacting over two million students who lack access to visual arts programs in their schools.

Over the past 14 years, we've served 315 artists, 64 libraries, and over 13,000 students nationwide through artist residencies and weekly, holistic art programming.

The Residency
The ProjectArt Teaching Artist Residency is designed for emerging, local visual artists who want to engage with youth, libraries and communities while expanding their artistic practice. Residents have a strong interest in developing career-building skills and connecting with a growing local and national network of artists. They are eager to learn through professional development opportunities and explore how public libraries can serve as a resource to inform and support their art-making. Above all, they possess a genuine, enthusiastic appreciation for teaching and mentorship.

This residency runs from August through May, culminating in a joint student and artist exhibition at a professional venue. It allows artists to refine their teaching practice, develop new work, and play a vital role in ProjectArt's mission to increase visual arts access to youth who need it most.

Commitments
A ProjectArt Resident's commitment is two-fold. The teaching component includes paid weekly classes, regular communication with staff, and some administrative responsibilities. The artistic development component provides a supportive framework to create new work for a professional exhibition, build career skills, and leverage the library as a resource throughout the 9-month residency.

Teaching
Weekly Classes
Facilitate 2-3 classes per week for youth ages 4-7, 8-12, and 13-18 years at an assigned public library branch over a 35-week period.

Schedule
Classes are generally after-school between Tuesdays and Thursdays, although they may vary.

AfterschoolHQ
Diligently use AfterSchoolHQ (AHQ), ProjectArt's student database platform, to monitor rosters and maintain accurate attendance records.

Curriculum
Develop a series of seven 3-6-week long projects aligned with ProjectArt's Curriculum Framework, following a designated timeline.

Administrative Tasks
Ensure timely completion of all administrative tasks, including curriculum development, weekly attendance tracking, and periodic submissions of:
- Class photos 
- Student stories
- Student Surveys

Communication
Maintain proactive communication with the City Program Manager regarding all aspects of the residency, including classes and administrative tasks.

Student Exhibitions
Assist in preparing students for participation in the end-of-year library showcase and professional joint exhibition, incorporating class projects into final selections.

Individual Professionalism
Act as a dedicated representative of ProjectArt when engaging with students, families, library staff, donors, and the ProjectArt team. Maintain a solution-oriented, collaborative, and respectful approach in all interactions with supervisors.

Artistic Development
Art Practice
Sustain an ongoing artistic practice that consumes a minimum of 15 hours of work per month, while exploring how library spaces, resources, archives, and digital tools can inform and enrich art-making.

Studio Time
Submit and engage with documentation of your art practice on Discord through ProjectArt's Studio Time component, where residents share progress and exchange feedback while developing new work for the end-of-year exhibition.

Discord
Use ProjectArt's Discord as an active space for support, cohort engagement, tracking professional development webinar announcements, and studio time submissions.

Internal Artist Forums
Attendance and participation in Internal Artist Forums (IAFs) to present artistic and community-oriented achievements PechaKucha-style to the National Cohort/ProjectArt members, refine pitch delivery, receive designated feedback, and engage in discussions on their work and impact.

Exhibition
Begin with exploratory ideas that can evolve over time and ultimately culminate in work for the final exhibition. With guidance from ProjectArt staff and feedback from the national cohort—through Studio Time, Individual Artist Focus (IAF) sessions, and three city-wide check-ins beginning in the spring—residents are expected to develop a new body of work and participate in the exhibition.

Professional Development
Attend ongoing webinars: Strategic Planning, Jobs in the Arts (Building Your Career Toolkit), and Applying to Grants and Residencies. Hosted in partnership with New York Foundation for the Arts (NYFA).

Networking
Take part in local in-person and national virtual meetups (via Zoom and Discord Live) to build relationships with fellow resident artists, ProjectArt staff, alumni, and arts professionals.

Applicants who show genuine interest and a clear commitment to engaging with these residency offerings will be prioritized.

Partnered Libraries and Locations
Applicants may apply for the residency at one of the listed city library systems and select a preferred branch. Final placements will be based on availability, fit, and overall alignment with program needs: one artist per branch. Depending on the applicant pool, you may be assigned to an alternative branch upon selection. 

Cincinnati Public Library Branches:
- West End
- Avondale
- Bond Hill

Benefits and Compensation
- Exhibition: End-of-year joint artist and student exhibition hosted at a professional venue, including a $500 materials honorarium and ongoing logistical, artistic support to create new work
- Teaching Rate: $75 per class ($60 for teaching + $15 for prep), bi-weekly payment processing
- Resources: Teaching supplies, comprehensive curriculum planning guides, open-ended support from program administrators, and priority access to exclusive library resources, equipment, archives. If desired, studio space can be explored as a possibility, depending on the library branch.

There was a perfect balance of creative alone time, camaraderie/group activity with fellow creatives, learning time, history, and indoor/outdoor times…I felt inspired, was able to come up with new ideas for my projects and was able to reconnect with nature as well.”
“I can’t express how delighted I was by the friendliness of the staff, the beauty of the grounds, and the engagement level of the program. I came in on Friday worried that it might be a stressful weekend, since I had never been to Greenacres and didn’t think I’d know anyone there, but the atmosphere was incredibly comforting and motivating! I feel much more creatively charged to go forward in my art practice, and feel a renewed sense of community with nature and with fellow artists.”
“The art retreat was a wonderful experience that I will never forget. The staff treated us with dignity and respect, making us feel so welcome. I said they were like a big hug. The location was excellent, especially in the fall. Two favorites were the greenhouse tour and the yoga class. Bravo!”
“From the Artists retreat to the Artist reception, we were their honored guests. Treated with such care and dignity, providing a wonderful environment to escape into Greenacres' creative wonderland. I can only give praise and kudos to the staff. They rocked it. Thank you and please keep this program going so others can experience it!”
