Art on the Rise

Art on the Rise takes center stage on Art Climb, the museum’s hillside sculpture garden and stairway linking the museum campus to Gilbert Avenue. This innovative monthly program, built on community partnerships, brings together live performances and art-making activities—with an abundance of fun for all participants!

An “Access for All” grant from the Art Bridges Foundation has made this new series of events possible. CAM was only one of 64 museums across the country to have received this inaugural award in 2023 and is investing the $1,120,000 grant to serve community members and new museum visitors from across Greater Cincinnati over the next three years.

At the heart of Art on the Rise is a commitment to foster community connections. Local businesses, schools, and organizations are joining the museum and contributing to the success of each monthly event. Thanks to the funding from Art Bridges, we are proud to announce that all Art on the Rise programs are free, inviting the entire community to join in the celebration, ensuring access to art and culture for everyone.
