We just bought some land in Northside!

Depending on when you tuned in to the efforts of PAR-Projects, you may or may not know our overarching goal is to build an art & education center for Northside Cincinnati, that focuses on teaching practical arts (e.g. graphic design, web building and studio-related skills) at a community accessible level.

Well, we're one step closer now that we've purchased a parcel of land in Northside -- which happened to come with a small building that will be used for office space and outdoor performances.


More about our upcoming plans, our structured rollout and our fundraising goals for this project will be launching soon. For now though, please enjoy knowing Northside officially has a new place for events, community gatherings and quite possibly an outdoor, family friendly movie theater!

Also, PLEASE MARK YOUR CALENDARS:
The first major event in our new space is scheduled for Saturday August 30th!

It will feature food, beverages, live music, interactive artwork and will benefit our efforts as well as the efforts of Apple Street Market to bring a new grocery co-op to the neighborhood!

Thanks for spreading the word,

Hey There!

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

This past July, Jonathan Sears — Executive Director of Cincinnati-based PAR-Projects — found himself traveling halfway across the country to Kansas City to meet with a diverse collection of artists. 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. Aptly named MdW  (pronounced "Midway") , this group of artists, like him, lead creative spaces across 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.

Northside Cincinnati’s PAR-Projects awarded $250,000 from Ohio’s Capital Budget

As ArtsWave & The Greater Cincinnati Regional Chamber noted in their recent Economic Impact of Arts & Culture report (pages 14 & 16) , PAR-Projects — our BIPOC-led arts & education organization — has been working to build an inclusive and welcoming space to highlight and promote the work of local and regional creatives for a number of years. Specifically called out was the fact that our small team has raised and invested over $850,000 in this effort since acquiring our "HQ" building and outdoor space in 2015. And most notably, these dollars were used specifically for capital investments, outside of day-to-day expenses for operations and events.
