ArtsWave announced the 2024-25 season of Flow, An African American Arts Experience, along with its cross-venue subscription series, the Flow Pass. For $200, subscribers receive access to five Black-centered events with subscriber-only gatherings including food, drinks, and artist talks at each. The series is presented by Fifth Third Bank.

The season opens October 5 with an unveiling of Cincinnati-based Gee Horton’s “Coming of Age” three-part mural series for BLINK, which explores African American adolescence through contemporary visuals and hip-hop iconography. Subsequent events include a Cincinnati Pops tribute to Tina Turner on January 17, 2025; a performance by Step Afrika! on March 11 at the Aronoff Center; the regional premiere of “Jaja’s African Hair Braiding” at Ensemble Theatre Cincinnati on June 19; and a conversation with conceptual artist Charles Gaines about his project “The American Manifest” in summer 2025.

Flow began in 2020 and is guided by a steering committee of corporate representatives. Subscriptions are available at artswave.org/flow.
