BLINK Ideas
Looking for inspiration? Local artists have simple, creative ways to collaborate that can work in a variety of spaces, budgets, and timelines. Whether you’re looking for something low-lift or a bit more involved, these ideas are a great place to start.
Artist collaborations and connections are independently created and are not part of official BLINK programming. The Cincinnati Artist Network (CAN) is a directory designed to help you discover local artists and connect directly to artists. CAN does not coordinate, manage, or oversee projects and is not responsible for outcomes.
