Team (B) Growth at PAR-Projects



Our site is closed for the winter, so we're back on track with future site + education planning. With the help of our first successful Ohio Arts Council grant, our friends at Team B Architecture & Design have been hired to help us reimagine and create a phasing strategy for the construction (and full renovation) of our 6,000 square foot building and its attached courtyard.

If you look closer at the image, you can get an early look at how our site planning is going. And if curious, some of our other partners are noted within the sketching as well.

The good news? 

To help inform the future of our Northside Headquarters, Team B has created a public input survey! If you're reading this before November 30th, 2018, you still have time to participate in this info-gathering session. Just click this sentence to be redirected to the short survey!

Specifically, we're hoping you — residents and friends afar — will help inform the design of our space to help serve your needs. All ideas will be considered, so if you're hoping our building and/or grounds will host or accommodate anything specific, please don't hesitate to let us know. We're also hoping you'll share some of your educational interests, so we can properly plan ways to help out where we can.

Thanks for participating!
Team PAR-

As a side note: If you're a dedicated follower of this blog, please excuse the brief hiatus from our monthly posts. Some unexpected challenges presented themselves towards the end of the summer and our priorities had to shift to bring everything back on track. #SmallTeamProblems. We'll be sure to share once all of hurdles are cleared and we have time to reflect.

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.
