From October 3–10 2026, Cincinnati Art Week brings exhibitions, pop-up galleries, social gatherings, and special programming to Over-the-Rhine.
Cincinnati is an art city. It’s home to one of the Midwest's most vibrant creative communities. Cincinnati Art Week invites you to experience it.
Designed by artists, the week connects residents and visitors with exhibitions, conversations, creative experiences, public programming and the people shaping Cincinnati’s cultural landscape.
Cincinnati Art Week begins in Over-the-Rhine and grows from there. Each year, we'll expand into new neighborhoods, strengthening connections between artists, organizations, and the communities they call home.
Plan Your Art Week
A note from the
creators of
Cincinnati Art Week
From October 3–10, 2026, Cincinnati Art Week (CAW) debuts as a new annual celebration of connection, culture, and creativity.
CAW is created by Cincy Nice in partnership with No Standing and community partners. More than a week of exhibitions, Cincinnati Art Week is an invitation to experience the city through the people making it.
It’s born from admiration for our artist community and a shared commitment to:
We believe it's merrier with more, that good ideas like company, and the magic happens when we unite.
This is gonna be an ambitious year one (we’re gonna keep it real). We're intentionally focused on building a strong foundation to build upon.
We'd love your support as we bring Cincinnati Art Week to life. Whether you're a sponsor, artist, volunteer, business owner, neighbor, or simply curious, there's a place for you here. We can’t wait to connect.
We're going for it. Let's go together and see what's possible.
To who’s already here!
And to what’s next!
With anticipation,
the Cincinnati Art Week team
