In Cincinnati, the non-profit organization ArtWorks trains local youth to work with artists. Over the past 15 plus years they have painted 100 murals throughout Downtown, in many of the surrounding neighborhoods, and across the Ohio River in Northern Kentucky.
Charm City Streets visited the Queen City recently. Here you see 17 of the murals located in downtown Cincinnati. For more information about this ongoing mural project, visit artsworkscincinnati.org.

Charm City Streets recommends one explore Northside to discover and enjoy work by street artists from around the world, across the country, and the local neighborhood. One will soon see that Rapes is a prolific and talented local writer.
The eastside channels provide local writers thousands of linear feet of concrete canvas. Kongr, Naku, and Quips were the most prolific during Charm City Streets’ visit.
