Please join the Hamilton County Planning Partnership for our 2018 Annual Meeting.  We are excited to celebrate the work we have done with you in 2017!  In addition to lunch, we will present the Frank Ferris Award and hear how ArtWorks can energize your community.  ArtWorks is an award-winning nonprofit founded in 1996 as an arts-based workforce development, job training, and employment program for Cincinnati youth. Today, ArtWorks is the largest employer of visual artists in the region, hiring more than 3,000 area youth, 2,000 professional artists, and training 300 creative entrepreneurs to date. Colleen Houston, Vice President of Programs & Operations, will share the ArtWorks story and how you can partner with them to add public art to your community.
