Art Changes Everything
In a world filled with challenge and change, the power of art to heal, inspire, and bring people together has never been more essential. At Kennedy Heights Arts Center, we believe that creativity does more than enrich our lives—it transforms them.
This year, your support matters more than ever. Due to the unexpected loss of critical public funding—including the cancellation of our NEA grant, budget cuts at Cincinnati Public Schools, and other reductions—Kennedy Heights Arts Center faces a $180,000 shortfall in 2025.
Despite these challenges, we remain steadfast in our mission to ensure the arts are accessible to everyone. Through exhibitions, classes, performances, and partnerships across the city, we see it every day: art changes everything.
Your gift makes this possible. Together, we can ensure that art remains a force for connection and change—right here in our community.
Be a changemaker. Give today.
Kennedy Heights Arts Center is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization, EIN #45-0477749. Your contribution is tax-deductible to the extent of the law.
NOTE: PayPal is our online payment processor. You may pay by Credit Card; you do not need to have a PayPal account.
Consider making a planned gift to Kennedy Heights Arts Center to ensure that creativity and community will continue to thrive for generations to come. Click here to learn more about planned giving opportunities.
