#MyFirstArts Challenge
The #MyFirstArts Challenge is a part of the 2023 ArtsWave Campaign that underscores the importance of arts education and early arts experiences. We'll share stories from participants throughout the Campaign, both on social media and in a physical gallery
in the ArtsWave lobby! At our Campaign finale celebration, we'll share the images to show how important the arts have been to creating the people and community we are today.
Taking part is simple:
1. Share your early arts experience. This can be:
a. A plain text post sharing a brief story.
b. A short story plus an image — a picture of the venue, a picture of you at that age, a picture of the art you made, etc.
c. A short video telling your story (like this one from Mayor Aftab).
2. Use the hashtags #MyFirstArts and #CreatedToGrow in your post. Be sure to tag @ArtsWave on Facebook, Instagram and
LinkedIn, or @ArtsWaveCincy on TikTok!
3. If you post on Instagram or Facebook, consider adding a fundraiser to your post! In posts and reels, that's as easy as tapping the button that says "Raise Money" (Facebook) or "Add Fundraiser" (Instagram):
