How you help	We are growing quickly and making a name for Cincinnati as a place where art happens. We are proud of what we've accomplished and ready to do more. As a small and fairly young organization, we rely on volunteers to help us keep our doors open, our event calendar alive, and our programs running smoothly. Whether by volunteering to teach a class at The Welcome Project, gallery sitting for just a couple hours a month, or helping hand out maps for one of our outdoor community festivals, you will be making a difference for Wave Pool, artists in Cincinnati, and our city as a whole. Thank you.

About us	Wave Pool is a socially-engaged art center that acts as a conduit for community change through artist opportunities and support. Pairing communities’ knowledge of their needs with artists’ sense of possibility, Wave Pool provides a structure whereby contemporary art and artists can be integral contributors to the fabric and success of our city, country, and beyond, by helping us build relationships and collective knowledge around complex issues, centering the insights and experience of those most intimately affected. Our space includes an art gallery, studios, artist residency program, wood shop, ceramics studio, and community gathering space. We are best known for initiating and supporting artist driven social practice projects and exhibiting work that stretches beyond our gallery walls through interactive projects that proactively support our neighbors. Listening deeply, and collaborating broadly, we work with neighbors and partner organizations to tackle tough problems through asset-based development and promote visionary approaches to problem solving as artistic practice.
