This breathtaking mural, created for NINTH - an event collective by internationally acclaimed artist Shahzia Sikander, in collaboration with the Cincinnati Art Museum and ArtWorks Cincinnati, is nearly complete! To overcome the challenge of painting the upper section of the church, which was inaccessible by traditional scaffolding, our emerging artists devised a creative solution. They painted on parachute fabric and used a special adhesive to affix it to the side of the building, resulting in this stunning work of art. Be sure to catch the full unveiling this October!

FRIDAY FUN | THE MURAL AT NINTH - An Event Collective

The mural adorning the exterior of NINTH - an event collective is bursting with color! Created by internationally acclaimed artist Shahzia Sikander, this collaboration between the Cincinnati Art Museum and ArtWorks Cincinnati is infusing vibrant energy into the back of the church building, further solidifying Cincinnati’s status as a vibrant creative community.

What we find most heartwarming about this collaboration is witnessing the young painters, aged 14 to 24, relishing their time at this historic site during their daily lunch breaks - taking a moment to appreciate the sunlight streaming through the recently restored stained glass windows!
