ArtsWave has announced the recipients of its 2025 Young Professionals and Pride Grants, totaling over $100,000 in funding for programs that engage young professionals and celebrate LGBTQIA+ communities in the Cincinnati region. The grants support innovative arts programming across Greater Cincinnati.
“These grants represent ArtsWave’s commitment to fostering a thriving, inclusive arts community that resonates with all segments of our diverse population,” said Alecia Kintner, president and CEO of ArtsWave. The funded programs align with ArtsWave’s strategic vision of making Greater Cincinnati a more connected community through the arts.
ArtsWave’s Young Professionals grants support programming designed to attract and engage audiences in their 20s and 30s, while the Pride grants fund experiences that celebrate LGBTQIA+ voices in the arts. Both grant programs are funded through ArtsWave’s annual community campaign, which raised $12.3 million in 2025.
