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.

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.
