CAPITAL CAMPAIGN<br />
Phase 1 ~ <strong>Round</strong> 2 <strong>of</strong> 2<br />
<strong>PAR</strong>-<strong>Projects</strong> is in the midst <strong>of</strong> a major community development project in<br />
Northside, transforming 3/4 <strong>of</strong> an acre (along H<strong>of</strong>fner Street) into a<br />
collection <strong>of</strong> indoor and outdoor spaces reserved for contemporary arts,<br />
education, and community programming.<br />
With your help, in 2024 we will open a community-requested and city-approved,<br />
permanent outdoor performance stage in the heart <strong>of</strong> Northside. This space will<br />
be paired with an outdoor movie theater, made from two stacked shipping<br />
containers and designed for family friendly movie nights & film series. An indoor<br />
installation art gallery compliments the outdoor spaces, and all <strong>of</strong> these<br />
amenities help <strong>PAR</strong>-<strong>Projects</strong> increase access & exposure to the arts.<br />
This will complete the first phase <strong>of</strong> our community development project and<br />
ensure <strong>PAR</strong>- <strong>Projects</strong> continues leading the way as one <strong>of</strong> the region’s largest<br />
Black-led arts & education organizations.
In 2010, we started in our community via pop-up exhibitions, collaborative<br />
events, and a few surveys along the way. A few questions we’ve asked...<br />

Completing <strong>Round</strong> 2 <strong>of</strong> Phase 1 will lay the needed infrastructure for the<br />
remaining ¼ acre <strong>of</strong> undeveloped land at 1662 H<strong>of</strong>fner Street. This step will also<br />
activate our West Campus with the construction <strong>of</strong> our long-awaited shipping<br />
container-based outdoor movie theater. Further, it will create room for our<br />
permanent outdoor stage, as we prepare to kick <strong>of</strong>f our second year <strong>of</strong> the<br />
H<strong>of</strong>fner Street Stage Series.<br />
After successfully raising $500,000 in <strong>Round</strong> 1, raising $250,000 for <strong>Round</strong> 2 in<br />
the next few months will allow <strong>PAR</strong>-<strong>Projects</strong> to meet the necessary timing to<br />
open and activate our community space Summer <strong>of</strong> 2024. Improvements to<br />
reach this goal include the addition <strong>of</strong> new electric, new water and sewer lines, as<br />
well as the addition <strong>of</strong> concrete footers for our outdoor theater and concrete<br />
slabs for our future installation gallery space. This funding also covers all final<br />
Phase 1 improvements on our East Campus, also known as Studeō <strong>PAR</strong>.<br />
With your help accomplishing this milestone, we’ll be able to open Northside’s<br />
first permanent outdoor performance venue at 1662 H<strong>of</strong>fner Street.<br />

Thank you for supporting our progress and vision!
Looking beyond Cincinnati, our expansion will help us continue<br />
attracting a wide range <strong>of</strong> talent to the metro area. Keeping this in<br />
mind, our hope is that we will help local talent expand their reach<br />
by connecting with artists we bring to the Tri-State. To assist this<br />
process, we’ve defined a 250 mile radius impact zone which<br />
allows us to deepen our relationships throughout the midwest.<br />
Through this Midwestern reach, we present artwork <strong>of</strong>ten unseen<br />
in our area. For example, in 2023 we hosted exhibitions by Iranian<br />
painter Elena Masrour (via Cleveland Institute <strong>of</strong> Art) and Austen<br />
Brantley — a Detroit-based sculptor, recently named 1 <strong>of</strong> 6 emerging<br />
artists at this year’s NCECA conference. These shows brought-in and<br />
connected these artists to the networks <strong>of</strong> our local creative pool.<br />

Launched in 2013, #MakersMobile was our original outreach pod<br />
and Cincinnati’s first shipping-container-based art hub. Prior to us<br />
purchasing land for our Northside Headquarters, #MakersMobile<br />
and Big Blue — our first two shipping container spaces — gave us<br />
a way to serve the art deserts <strong>of</strong> the region.<br />
Cincinnati 5 x <strong>PAR</strong>-<strong>Projects</strong><br />
Cincinnati 5 x <strong>PAR</strong>-<strong>Projects</strong> in 2017 is a great example <strong>of</strong> how<br />
collaborations can promote a unified community. Neighborhood<br />
parades, live music, spoken word, and fine art came together to<br />
create this dynamic experience.
