As we all come together to fund the arts during the 2019 Arts Wave Community Campaign, weve engaged more than 6,000 so far in just the first half of ArtsWave Days, brought to you by Macy's.

The most recent, Arts on the Hill, featured performances and activities at the Cincinnati Art Museum, free admission to the opening weekend for the beautiful "Paris 1900" exhibition, and a free community preview performance of August Wilson's masterpiece, "Two Trains Running," at Cincinnati Playhouse in the Park.
