Descriptive, Comparative, and Intellectual Oddments: Art as Collaboration Cincinnati, OH has a farther-reaching interest in the arts than other, comparably-sized Midwestern cities; more involved than Zanesville or Cleveland, the city of Cincinnati has a long, profound interest in the visual, musical, and performative arts. With art distributed across several museums, personal collections, and coming from a number of talented, young makers, Cincinnati has the depth of creativity to rival larger, coastal cities. With fewer individuals, however, selecting to study the fine arts -- and even fewer who have the opportunity to practice their art for a living -- the continued economic insecurity for prospective artists has taken an immense toll on the creative energy of these arts-oriented communities. As an aspiring artist, I hope to demonstrate the love I have for those who share their art with the world. There is, however, an apparent exclusivity provided to artists with privilege granted to their gender, race, or socioeconomic condition; this is an important challenge to address in designing a set of systems that may dismantle these disparities and provide contextualized equity for those involved.
