aim cincinnati makes a phenomenal community impact by creating and stimulating community engagement and development through our performances and arts education and outreach initiatives.  Our Kennedy Heights Headquarters Community Arts Center creates great opportunities for neighborhood and Greater Cincinnati residents to experience the arts and provides a safe haven for youth to stay off the streets, cultivating positive self esteem, and finding productive and supportive after-school activities. 

We hosted the Playhouse in the Park, Comedy Improv, Macy’s Fine Arts Fund Sampler Weekend and Gospel Brunch, Community Arts Centers Day, the premiere of The Love Experience, and monthly Jazz Jam sessions among other exciting offerings.
