"It wasn’t supposed to be a business. It was a final project."
Art on Vine began as a college class project presented to HP, Procter & Gamble, and Western & Southern Financial Group. To get it off the ground, founder James Jenkins went door-to-door to local businesses, pitching the idea with the class project as his proof of concept. He reconnected with classmate Page Lansley, the project’s original designer—work now carried forward by Old Soul Creatives.
The first events were held in a parking lot on Vine Street in Cincinnati’s Over-the-Rhine (OTR) neighborhood, starting with just eight artists. Early on, a portion of artist fees benefited Over-the-Rhine Community Housing, the owner of that lot. Through hard work and community support, Art on Vine has grown to host 80+ artists every month—filling Rhinegeist Brewery in the fall and winter and Fountain Square, Washinton park and Elm Street Plaza in the spring and summer—and now receives more than 100 artist entries monthly. The event has also partners with and benefited a rotating roster of local nonprofits.
Art on Vine exists to provide a unique, fun, one-on-one art-buying experience while celebrating and supporting artists’ financial independence.
Everyone has a story ours just started as a collage project presented in front of HP, Proctor Gamble and Western Southern Financial Group in 2012.
