Visions of the Future from Kids in Cincinnati

Visions of the Future from Kids in Cincinnati


Our Future, Now is a collaborative youth art project created by Kennedy Heights Arts Center and Public Allies Cincinnati in 2011.

Thus far, 200 5th-8th grade students from throughout greater Cincinnati have shared their visions of the future, for themselves and their communities, good and bad, with their city as part of the project. The artists expressed their visions within transparent “windows”.

In May 2011, these visions were displayed within a cityscape installation as part of an exhibit that was included in SOS Art 2011, an annual community art show of socio-political expressions for peace and justice. Hundreds of people from all over Cincinnati visited this exhibit and encountered the visions of these young artists.
