Who should apply?
All backgrounds and career stages are welcome. All you need is a desire to make an impact on the arts!

Others are new to the region and are looking to make lasting connections.
ArtsWave encourages candidates from diverse backgrounds to apply. Together, we can ensure that the programs and practices of the region’s arts and cultural organizations are reflective of our entire community.

2022 Class Graduation
The 2022 Boardway Bound class celebrated their graduation with participating arts organization leadership, alumni and ArtsWave staff on March 16 at The Carnegie in Covington, KY. Graduates and guests enjoyed a dynamic panel discussion, led by Cincinnati Councilmember Reggie Harris, probing the topic of "Why Art [Matters], paneled by Rebecca Nava Soto, Lynn Meyers, and Tysonn Betts. These social and networking experiences are one of the reasons Boardway Bound has found success. In addition to the training and matching with an organization, the class provides a lasting network of local leaders who are making an impact on our community through the arts. Join us for our next class!
