2019 ANNUAL REPORT

ArtsWave is the engine behindGreater Cincinnati’s arts.

Tens of thousands of individuals and companies give to ArtsWave each year, supporting 100+ arts projects and organizations through impact-based grants.

The arts — music, dance, theater, museums, festivals and more — produce a wave of impact that connects us and contributes directly to our region’s success. The arts attract national acclaim and drive tourism. They are a magnet for creative economy workers, who are establishing startups and driving growth in our corporations. They jumpstart and enliven neighborhoods and contribute to the beautification and safety of our streets. They foster creativity and learning, preparing the next generation of Cincinnatians for the jobs of tomorrow. The arts bridge cultural divides as they teach us empathy and tolerance.

These impacts are made possible by ArtsWave, the nation’s first and largest community campaign for the arts and the region’s indispensable resource.

Funding Arts. Fueling Community.

“The arts deepen roots and put Cincinnati on the map. They are the soul of the region and a competitive economic advantage.”

Those were Cincinnati Bell President & CEO Leigh Fox’s words as he wrapped up the 2019 ArtsWave Community Campaign, which he chaired.

Leigh’s words of wisdom ring true. The arts are critical to our region’s future, and the evidence from this year’s campaign suggests our community knows it. Together, for the sixth year in a row, the ArtsWave Community Campaign raised more than $12 million for the arts. Leigh set an ambitious goal of $12.3 million, and our region stepped up to reach $12,355,136.

Under Leigh’s leadership, the ArtsWave Community Campaign took steps in several new directions: a Nashville singer-songwriter concert, an online art auction, a whiskey tasting event, sales of calendars and t-shirts, and our first primetime telethon. That work continues to pay off, providing critical support for the region’s arts community and a wave of arts impact.

Beyond dollars raised, the 2019 Community Campaign highlighted the array, depth and importance of the region’s arts. ArtsWave Days, brought to you by Macy’s, engaged 12,000 people across the region, featuring 100+ free performances and activities at 18 locations over six Saturdays.

ArtsWave CincySings, brought to you by Accenture, engaged 16 choral groups from nearly a dozen companies throughout the region, with nearly 3,000 watching the outcome.

Toast to the Arts featured a variety of wine, beer and cocktail promotions held at local establishments, including our We Are The Arts collaboration beer with Fretboard Brewing Company.

Many thanks to Leigh, his team at Cincinnati Bell and the rest of the Cabinet. Special thanks goes to ArtsWave’s Board of Directors, led by Teresa Tanner, and our arts partners, for the important role they all played in raising over $12 million.

None of this would be possible without the support and commitment of our community. Thank you for championing the arts and investing in the region. Together, We Are The Arts!

$36 MILLION INVESTED

over three years to make Greater Cincinnati a stronger community through the arts.

Here’s the return on investment in ArtsWave’s

Blueprint for CollectiveAction for the Arts Sector...

Over the last three years, ArtsWave-funded organizations have helped to differentiate the region through impactful collaborations and innovative programming, bolstering our region’s reputation on a national level and attracting visitors. In fact, for the third consecutive year, Greater Cincinnati’s arts garnered over 200 million media impressions in national news stories. Significantly, cultural tourism has proven to be an important economic driver, adding $292 million to our region in incremental revenues since 2016.

Putting Cincinnati ON THE MAP

DEEPENING ROOTS in Our RegionThe arts deepen roots in our community, engaging young professionals 597,468 times over the last year alone. 87% of young professionals surveyed across the region strongly agree that Greater Cincinnati’s vibrant arts scene influences where they live and work. Offering diverse cultural experiences is a key strategy for helping our region retain talent.

BRIDGING Cultural DividesThe benefits of the arts extend beyond individual experiences. The arts help create social cohesion and opportunities for connectivity and understanding. ArtsWave continues to be dedicated to bridging cultural divides, with $1 million in new investments planned over the next three years in an African American arts series inviting best-in-class artists from all disciplines to Cincinnati. The series will elevate the richness of African American arts, attracting audiences of all races, both locally and from outside the region.

Enlivening NEIGHBORHOODSOver the last three years, ArtsWave-funded organizations have enlivened Greater Cincinnati’s neighborhoods by engaging over 1 million individuals in 9 out of 15 counties with free or low-cost arts experiences. ArtsWave-funded organizations are making the arts even more relevant to more people by moving outside of traditional venues.

ArtsWave provided funding for 410,072 arts experiences for students at 3 in every 5 schools across 15 counties, including 100% of Cincinnati Public Schools. 84% of regional educators surveyed agree that the arts are a key part of the educational experience. 83% strongly agree that the arts increase 21st century skills like critical thinking and collaboration — skills that are highly sought after by business leaders.
