One of Cincinnati’s oldest and most well-respected art shows returns with the Hyde Park Square Art Show.
“We are looking forward to being back on the Square again with so many returning and new artists,” says Janet Smith, a longtime organizer of the annual event. “Along with being a great place to buy art, which the artists love, it's also a great celebration of our local creative community.”
The Hyde Park Square Art Show features more than 200 artists from the Greater Cincinnati area and across the country, exhibiting and selling works in a wide variety of media, including painting, photography, glass, jewelry, wood, fiber/leather, and ceramics. The art show draws more than 3,000 attendees each year.
“Not only can you see incredible work by professional artists, but the Show is also a showcase for youth artists from area schools,” says Smith. “We also offer scholarships to college students as a way to continue to develop artists for the future.”
This year's scholarship winners are Rachel Paxitzis (Northern Kentucky University School of the Arts), Molly Rahtz (University of Cincinnati, College of Design, Architecture, Art, and Planning, and Hannah Wardlow. (Northern Kentucky University School of the Arts).
Launched in 1966, the Hyde Park Square Art Show has grown from the vision of two Hyde Park businessmen into a community-wide event that supports the arts and arts education throughout the year. It is the largest one-day art show in Greater Cincinnati. All work included in the Hyde Park Square Art Show is reviewed by a panel of judges, comprised of artists, art educators and gallery owners.
