Project Description
ArtWorks is partnering with Pride Cincinnati to bring a vibrant and celebratory outdoor mural to downtown Cincinnati this summer, commemorating the 50th anniversary of Pride in Cincinnati. The mural design, which is currently in progress, will be created by a local artist and member of the LGBTQ+ community. The design will showcase the city's support for the LGBTQ+ community and recognizes the community's contributions to Cincinnati's rich cultural fabric and history. Apprentices on this project will support creating a new mural that will serve as a joyful and uplifting symbol of diversity, unity, and inclusion, bringing together people of all backgrounds and promoting positive social change. ArtWorks encourages members and allies of the LGBTQ+ community to apply!
