ArtsWave is launches “Cincy Arts Shirt Week,” a limited-time initiative that brings the region’s arts together through custom-designed apparel by
Cincy Shirts.
To celebrate, you’re invited to play 18 holes with the 18 arts organizations at a launch event at The Acres to support the 2026 ArtsWave Community Campaign.
The initiative kicks off with a free public event on Thursday, April 16, 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. at The Acres, 9941 Reading Road, where community members can play mini golf at no cost while experiencing a one-of-a-kind showcase of 20 ArtsWave-funded organizations from across the region.
Each hole on the course will feature a different participating arts organization, with representatives modeling custom-designed T-shirts created by Cincy Shirts, which will also be available for purchase. Guests who score a hole-in-one at select holes will receive prizes from The Acres or participating organizations.
“This is a clear example of what makes the Cincinnati region’s arts so strong,” said Ryan Strand, Vice President of Marketing & Communications at ArtsWave. “These organizations are connected through ArtsWave, and they show up for each other. This initiative brings that collaboration to life in a way people can see and take with them.”
ArtsWave supports more than 150 organizations, projects and artists each year, made possible by tens of thousands of individual gifts to the annual campaign. That shared investment helps make sure the arts remain within reach for everyone while strengthening the region’s economy and sense of community.
That community connection extends beyond the event through the shirts themselves.
“Cincy Shirts has always been about showcasing what makes Cincinnati, Cincinnati,” said Josh Sneed, co-owner of Cincy Shirts. “The arts are a huge part of that. This was a natural way to support the organizations that make the region so creative, while offering people something they can wear to show that.”
All shirts are available for a limited time only, with a portion of proceeds benefiting ArtsWave and the participating organizations as part of the ongoing ArtsWave Community Campaign.
Timed with the start of warmer weather, “Cincy Arts Shirt Week” offers a new way for the community to engage with and support the arts.
The shirts will be available in Cincy Shirts stores in Loveland and Fort Mitchell and on their website at cincyshirts.com/pages/artswave.
