As an organization, we push ourselves to the limit, sometimes a bit beyond. And from time to time, through these efforts, some extremely favorable opportunities present themselves. Call it luck. Call it dedication. Call it fate. What we know is that the BIG THINGS often happen unexpectedly and often would not be possible without others appreciating the day-to-day work we're putting in to create impactful movements throughout and alongside our community.

A big "THANKS!" goes out to Steve Rosen and the staff of City Beat Cincinnati for highlighting our largest initiative to date, Studeō PAR- ... our efforts to create a welcoming, diverse, and inclusive artist community, here in Northside  Cincinnati USA.

  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.

Because of the latter, our goals have simply been to keep our head down, keep working, and be the best we can be. 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...

Just testing things out here...

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.
