Some way or another — exhibitions, classes, workshops, childrens’ programs, Readers Theatre, Summer Camp, artFLIX, the Gene Johnston Lecture Series, fundraising events, or donations — you‘ve had a relationship with The Barn. We’re thankful for that relationship. Among other things, it’s supported the well-being of our facilities and our programs. 

This past year has been especially challenging to everyone’s well-being and The Barn is no exception. Because we could not safely gather, events, classes, and exhibitions were canceled. Like most nonprofits in the arts sector, we experienced a drastic loss of income (more than 50%) during 2021. However, we are committed to continuing to support the arts in ways that make them easily accessible for adults, children, and families and that means being good stewards of The Barn.

 It’s with heartfelt high hopes of seeing you at The Barn again soon that we’re asking you to consider a Valentine gift to our Annual Campaign fund to support the well-being of our facility. There are no small gifts — every one of them is a message of encouragement.

THANK YOU ❤️

The Barn needs a new coat...a "new Coat" of shingles, that is!

What can you give to the person who has everything? Or the discriminating individual with a passion for art and history? Or someone who loves to give, more than receive?

The Woman's Art Club of Cincinnati Foundation can help you give the perfect gift. The 100-year old shingles on the exterior walls of The Barn are falling apart and must be replaced...so we're doing a Shingle Fundraiser to help deck the exterior walls with a brand new set of shingles.

Your twenty-five dollar (tax-deductible) donation will buy a single shingle that will be numbered before being installed and painted to adorn and protect The Barn. We will send the lucky recipient a gift card acknowledging your timeless gift to them and The Barn (example birthday card shown below). We will note your shingle number along with your recipient's name, optional message, and optional photo in a time capsule within the new wall.

RIGHT NOW the Woman's Art Club of CIncinnati will MATCH YOUR GIFT until their shingle matching fund is depleted!

To join in this historic fundraiser simply CLICK HERE to give a lasting gift. Just $25 will bring a gift of joy this year and for a century to come!

Have you "herd"? Here's how we are doing so far:
