Can you believe it’s been nearly 100 years since ArtsWave started making waves in our community? To mark this milestone, we’re launching the ArtsWave 100 Endowment for Arts Education Experiences.

What’s this endowment all about? It’s a big, bold plan to keep arts education thriving in our region for the next century and beyond. This isn’t just about keeping the arts alive — it’s about ensuring they remain a vital part of our community’s heart and soul.

Arts education is not just an extra activity; it’s a crucial part of a well-rounded education. Kids who dive into the arts often see better academic results, build strong social skills and grow into engaged, thoughtful citizens. For parents, this means your kids aren’t just learning to appreciate creativity — they’re picking up skills that will help them throughout their lives.

Let’s not forget the economic side of things. A vibrant arts scene isn’t just good for the soul; it’s great for business, too. It attracts visitors, supports local shops, and boosts our overall quality of life. By backing the ArtsWave 100 Endowment, you’re helping to shape the next generation of creative minds who will drive our local economy forward.

But here’s the thing: without steady support, we risk losing the cultural and economic benefits that the arts bring. The arts aren’t a luxury — they’re essential to our community’s well-being and growth. By contributing to this endowment, you’re playing a part in keeping Cincinnati shining bright on the national stage, full of rich arts and culture for everyone to enjoy.

Whether you’re an artist, a business leader, or simply someone who loves the arts, your support matters. Let’s come together to make sure arts education continues to be a cornerstone of our community. Investing in the ArtsWave 100 Endowment is an investment in a vibrant, connected, and thriving Cincinnati.

So, let’s ensure another 100 years of arts and education in our region. Join us in supporting the ArtsWave 100 Endowment. Click here to learn more about how you can help!
