These projects include more traditional gallery exhibitions as well as projects taking place in public space and with other partner organizations.

  • Welcome project - The Welcome Project is a social enterprise that combines a small market, food pantry and teaching kitchen with a boutique and makers space to train our newest neighbors in store management and art skills while bringing new life to the business district of Camp Washington, Cincinnati. Welcomes mission is to empower marginalized and at risk refugees and immigrants by providing jobs, education and skills training, in order to provide them with a better life and foster greater understanding and compassion in our city. We are working with refugees and immigrant artists and home chefs to mentor them toward achieving their business goals.

    Expenses $149,456 · Revenue $10,328

  • Studio and woodshop space rental - Wave Pool has always been a space not just for art viewing, but for making, artistic development, and community building. A large part of our space is dedicated for below- market-rate artist studio rentals as well as a community woodshop and ceramics studio. By renting a studio, artists are instantly connected to a community of artists and artistic programming that happens at Wave Pool and are often participants in our artistic critique nights as well as are the first community members we call upon to hire when we need something built or designed. Wave Pools wood shop regular community hours where anyone is welcome to learn how to use a tool, take a class, or build a personal project. We also have resources and space for weekly open community ceramics classes. We have scholarships available for folks that cannot normally afford to take these classes, and also now have a tool library available for neighborhood residents to borrow tools to use at home for projects.
