Winding down...



As things begin to wind down and truck-out (literally) with The Factory Square Fine Arts Festival, we at parProjects would like to simply say "Thank You!" again.

Thank you to all of the artists (and architects) for all of your hard work, patience and involvement with something as experimental as this ....our first festival.

THANK YOU to our Sponsors...
Thank you to our collaborators who helped make it all happen.
Thank you to "MDS999" for making the above video (Nice one!).
Thank you to the volunteers who helped keep our event(s) together.
Thank you to our coordinators who went the extra mile for us.
Thank you to the writers and publicist who kept us abuzz.
Thank you to the THOUSANDS of people who attended!

And maybe most importantly...
Thank you to The City of Cincinnati for allowing us to pull this off!
(Be warned tho, folks are starting to catch on to how awesome the city can be.)

You ALL rock ...so rock on ...with us ...updating soon.

PAR-Projects completes first $500K round of fundraising. Alisha Budkie joins Team PAR- to help launch Round 2.

  If you Blinked too hard you may have missed it. With the help of organizations like ArtsWave, Greater Cincinnati Foundation, and The Carol Ann & Ralph V.

The cool thing is we've never changed our mission and we've always held ourselves to the highest of standards — press or no press. We too have BIG things to accomplish...

Hey There!

Cincinnati-based Arts Org Selected to Join MdW — a coalition of artist-led spaces representing 11 states across The Midwest.

The reason? He was tapped to help plan a regional conference that's convening hundreds of arts-leaders to help strengthen the connectivity of artist-run initiatives located throughout The Midwest.

And while a segment of the coalition toured PAR-Projects back in April (2024), this was officially his first in-person meeting with the MdW arts coalition. So how did all of this come about? As Jonathan notes, in April of 2024, when a large group of artists showed up for a tour,  an odd level of comfort & conversation was achieved while exploring the 15,000 square foot expansion space of the PAR-Project Campus.
