ArtWorks is a Cincinnati-based nonprofit organization that creates community-based public art while providing career opportunities for young artists. It collaborates with local residents, community organizations, businesses, governments, foundations, and other nonprofits to produce public and private art projects, including more than 230 permanent outdoor murals, and to strengthen the region’s reputation as an arts destination. The organization engages professional artists to mentor diverse youth teams ages 14–21, helping them develop 21st-century career-readiness skills through hands-on mural and art projects. With a multidecade history in the Greater Cincinnati area, ArtWorks operates within the nonprofit sector focused on arts access, youth development, and community impact from its base in Cincinnati, Ohio. A number of recent initiatives highlight its ongoing program expansion and partnerships, including the launch of new programs and a permanent gallery to showcase exhibitions.
