Cincinnati is known for its thriving Art Community and we’re getting national recognition
with USA Todays Readers’ Choice Awards of 2024 ranking Cincinnati as the #1 City for
the Best Street Art in the United States! It’s an exciting honor to be acknowledged for
our collection of artworks in every neighborhood. The city serves as an outdoor gallery
with incredible murals by local and world-renowned artists.
“This award celebrates all who have been involved, from youth artists, professional
artists, building owners, community councils, nonprofit partners and the city of
Cincinnati.”
-ArtWorks
The nonprofit, ArtWorks is one of the largest contributors to the Street Art collection in
Cincinnati, with hundreds of murals throughout the area and more planned for the
future. This organization has made a commitment to prioritizing the community and
providing more opportunities for artists. They have invested in Public Art in profound
ways that brings positivity and creativity to the people. The city is a canvas with
endless possibilities and Artworks is keeping up the momentum of the Mural Movement
by developing consistent projects that collaborate in support of the arts.
“ArtWorks creates community-based public art that provides career opportunities for
artists of all ages. We find a way. We thrive together through diversity. We believe art
enhances life. We learn together.”
-ArtWorks
ArtWorks has been around since 1996 and has worked with thousands of artists to
make one-of-a-kind pieces that have transformed and beautified the City of Cincinnati.
They’re amazing leaders and innovators that are elevating the way we engage and
experience art. They recently celebrated their 10 th partnered project with the Cincinnati
Recreation Commission that highlights the diverse culture and history of the city. These
works of art are not only gorgeous, but they’re also educational references that tell a
story and give a glimpse into the past, present, and future of the impact of creativity in
the community. Their next big event is with the return of the interactive art experience
Blink and you don’t want to miss it! Take a tour through the city to immerse yourself in this outstanding display of art that is unforgettable that transcends you to a world of magical creativity in Cincinnati.
