This momentous year for the arts saw the reopening of Music Hall and Ensemble Theatre Cincinnati, the grand opening of Cincinnati Shakespeare Company's new theater, the renovation of Cincinnati Art Museum's Schmidlapp Gallery and more. These are just a few of the incredible, transformative construction projects that have taken place in recent years, with several more in the works.

Greater Cincinnati is undergoing a major arts renaissance. Recognizing that, ArtsWave commissioned the creation of "Behind the Buildings: Cincinnati's Arts Scene," a 32-page publication that gives readers fascinating insights into the intentional design, meticulous construction and powerful impacts behind our region's many new and improved cultural facilities.

Now, just in time for the holidays, you can buy a copy of "Behind the Buildings," either to treat yourself or as a stocking stuffer for someone who loves our region's vibrant arts scene. You can purchase "Behind the Buildings" at gift shops and box offices for several local theaters and museums, or you can find it here. All the proceeds from each sale will go to support 100+ of our region's most creative and impactful arts organizations.
