ArtsWave launches new Arts4Wellness series
As part of the 2021 ArtsWave Campaign – the primary way local arts are funded in the Cincinnati region – a new arts and health event series is being launched. Arts4Wellness is a set of 12 monthly events that are designed to use the arts to keep Cincinnatians healthy and hopeful throughout 2021.
The first event, Artful Mindfulness and the Enneagram, takes place March 6 at 10 a.m. with Game Day Communications CEO Jackie Reau interviewing Corporate Consciousness CEO Deni Tato in her home. Tato, a former board member for the Contemporary Arts Center and Cincinnati Ballet, will be surrounded by her personal art collection as she discusses both the meaning and relevance of the enneagram during the prolonged period of the pandemic and its accompanying stress. Guests will be able to ask Tato questions about their enneagram profile which can be taken beforehand through Truity. The program can be accessed for $15 or attendees are encouraged to donate $75+ for a year-long ArtsWave Pass to get access to this program and the entire arts and health series at no cost, along with arts, merchandise and dining exclusives from regional community partners.
Here is the line-up of the first three of the 12 monthly Arts4Wellness programs:
March 6, 10 a.m. – Artful Mindfulness and the Enneagram
Explore your personality through the Enneagram! Game Day Communications CEO Jackie Reau moderates a conversation with Corporate Consciousness CEO Deni Tato, previous board member of Contemporary Arts Center and Cincinnati Ballet. Surrounded by her personal art collection, Deni will explain the nine Enneagram personality types and how Artful Mindfulness can help all nine. Take your own Enneagram test at Truity.com and come prepared to have your questions answered.
March 25, 7 p.m. – The Art of Training for a 5K
Learn how to train for a 5K through four uniquely artful 3.1-mile courses designed by the Flying Pig Marathon Executive Director Iris Simpson-Bush in this session hosted by WLWT Anchor & Reporter Megan Mitchell. Each course will take you on an artistic tour of a different part of our community, past public art, historical and architectural wonders. Also, get your run on while listening to a playlist filled with Cincinnati-based music and musicians.
2021 ArtsWave Campaign Chair and HORAN President and CEO Terry Horan sees this year’s reimagined ArtsWave Pass and its new addition of an Arts4Wellness series as “a relevant and much needed way to use the arts on a personal level to stay healthy, mentally and physically. This series shows how the arts can both ground and uplift us.” ArtsWave President & CEO Alecia Kintner adds that “in this unique year, the arts are essential for our own personal wellbeing as well as our region’s overall health. With the help of the community, this year’s funding will assist in jumpstarting the Cincinnati region.
