Education & Community Programs
Since its inception in 1995, the Cincinnati Arts Association’s (CAA) Education and Community Programs have reached more than 1.8 million people and have promoted learning through the arts by developing opportunities that are diverse, multi-disciplinary, and accessible to all ages and cultural groups. Through projects with artists, arts organizations and cultural institutions, CAA promotes the arts as an integral part of our community.
Artists at Home
During this time of uncertainty and social distancing, the Cincinnati Arts Association is pleased to bring many of our touring artists to you – virtually – to help you stay healthy in fun and entertaining ways.
SchoolTime
The very first season of SchoolTime started in January of 1996 during the grand opening year of the Aronoff Center for the Arts. For the past 25 years, the SchoolTime series has welcomed nearly 500,000 youth, teachers, and chaperones.
Artists on Tour
The Artists on Tour program brings a variety of arts experiences directly into your organization. The finest local teaching artists in the region enhance learning with unique programs that vary in culture and art form.
The Overture Awards
The Overture Awards recognizes, encourages and rewards excellence in the arts among Tri-state students in grades 9-12. Its mission is to encourage arts education as an integral part of a student’s academic experience and to create an environment that encourages training in, and appreciation of, the arts.
