((( Support Wave Pool )))
Artist change how we live.
Think of the first time you saw art somewhere unexpected and a crowd of strangers suddenly felt like neighbors. That is what artists do. They change how we live with each other in our city.
Wave Pool is an art center in Camp Washington with a gallery, ceramics studio, woodshop, and artist workspace, and our work spills into lots, storefronts, streets, and parks. It has been this way for over a decade.
To keep doing this work, artists need paid work, professional training, and space to create. Your gift provides all three.
"I first encountered clay through Wave Pool's community ceramics class. That experience set me on a path to an MFA from Cranbrook and a professional studio practice. Now I'm bringing that growth back to the same community where it began."
— Erika NJ Allen, ((( Wave Pool ))) Incubator Fellow
Founder of The Clay Church Studio.
Ways to support artists
When you give to Wave Pool,
you provide artists with:
Pay and Career Tools
Paid work through our employment program MATCH, professional training through Driving Lessons, and business start-up support through incubator, so artists can build sustainable careers.
A Platform to Engage
Exhibitions and public projects, from our participation in the FotoFocus Biennial to Welcome Editions, where immigrant artisans collaborate with international artists.
A Place to Live and Create
In the near future, affordable living and studio space in Camp Washington through our new Cultural Land Trust, the first of its kind in the state.
Your gift makes it possible!
Here is what your support makes possible through our programs today:
• $25 keeps the shared workshop stocked and its tools ready for a day of artist use.
• $50 gives an artist a day of career training.
• $100 pays an artist to lead a workshop with neighborhood kids.
Every gift supports all of the Wave Pool work with artists.
Monthly Giving
Your monthly giving keeps Wave Pool's doors open, its tools ready, and its artists working with neighbors to build lasting change.
Cultural Land Trust
Hundreds of artists live and work in Camp Washington. Development is arriving, and with it higher rents and taxes. Wave Pool is building a Cultural Land Trust, the first of its kind in Ohio, to keep living and studio space here affordable.
We are building the land trust with allies: people who give, advise, open doors, and stay with the project. If you want to be one of them, Boris Oicherman, Executive and Artistic Director, would like to talk: boris@wavepool.art.
Every gift moves it forward.
Become a Collector with
Welcome Editions!
Beyond giving, you can collect: Welcome Editions are works by acclaimed artists, made by hand at Wave Pool, and every sale fuels our programs.
Welcome Editions are limited edition artworks designed by internationally recognized artists and fabricated by immigrant and refugee artisans at Wave Pool in Camp Washington, Cincinnati. The result is a body of work shaped by multiple hands and traditions.
