ArtsWave campaign wrapped up with “puzzling” activities

The wrap-up celebration for Cincinnati State’s annual ArtsWave campaign, on March 31, 2025, included friendly competition among employees, along with appreciation of ArtsWave and its contributions to the Greater Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky region.

Cincinnati State employees donated over $5,500 to the 2025 ArtsWave campaign.

President Monica Posey thanked employees for supporting the campaign and Nick Wade, ArtsWave’s Manager of Community Engagement, used video messages and his personal experiences to explain the many ways that ArtsWave makes a difference in the community.

Then, attendees formed teams and assembled jigsaw puzzles that displayed images of some of the public art murals created with support from ArtsWave. While the puzzling took place, other giveaways were distributed. All attendees received a Cincinnati State insulated tote bag.

ArtsWave campaign coordinator Kim Taylor thanked Patty Edwards and Jackie Norton for their assistance in planning the celebration event.
