A Year of Opening Doors

The holidays are a time for looking back and looking forward together. As we approach the end of the year, I want to express our deepest gratitude for your unwavering support.

2023 was truly a transformative year! Together, we’ve opened doors to creativity and positively impacted the lives of 9,364 people of all ages through 683 free and sliding scale arts experiences. With your support, 100% of our programs continued to be accessible to everyone.

Unlocking Potential: This year, our Cincinnati Jazz Academy continued to empower young musicians, providing free instruments, transportation, and instruction to diverse students. Your support helped these students achieve outstanding success, winning accolades at the Lionel Hampton Jazz Festival and setting the stage for even greater achievements in the years to come.

Inspiring Innovation: Through partnerships with local schools, our innovative arts education programs reached over 1,200 underserved students. From the Cr8 Club after-school program to arts integration projects in classrooms, your contributions made it possible for students to engage with the arts to foster creativity, academic skills, and social-emotional well-being.

Creating Community: The Vibrancy Fellowship, our unique residency program for emerging BIPOC artists, created powerful connections within our community. As we invested in these artists, they, in turn, enriched our community, creating brave spaces and inspiring positive change.

Just as a key unlocks a door, your support unlocks a world of endless possibilities through the arts. Your generosity enables us to continue providing free, high-quality arts programs for diverse individuals in our community.

You Hold the Key: As we strive to reach our goal of $60,000 for the KHAC Annual Fund by December 31, we invite you to consider making a donation today. Your contribution ensures that 100 percent of our programs remain accessible to everyone.
