Regional Connections features 17 works by artists living and working in either Cincinnati, OH or Indianapolis, IN and a community mural developed by CAC Artist in Residence Cierra Fogle (also known as SADFISH). The show comes to the CAC as a collaboration with artist collective Region 90, created by Fogle and co-founder Maxine Wallace. Region 90 (@region.ninety) seeks to support artists local to Cincinnati, Indianapolis, and Louisville in tangible ways by primarily relying on community connections spawning from a shared environment.

A range of themes span the works found in the exhibition, as artists express themselves through a variety of media. These works share a very particular moment in time and space, however, and the show as a whole celebrates the power of art-making in and with community. The community mural, for example, was crafted by dozens of Creativity Center visitors over the course of several weeks. The artists in Regional Connections are defining what it means to be an artist here and now - what does their work inspire within you?
