If you have recently changed your contact information (including address, email or phone) – definitely let us know. We want to keep our illustrious alumni informed on what’s happening here at the AAC, and to share any exhibition or job opportunities which might be available for our community of creative graduates.
The Academy’s connection with its student community doesn’t end at graduation. In fact, it’s just the beginning. We want to know what you are up to, and where the creative practice and process you developed here will take you next. Our goal is to make our network of alumni a vibrant and supportive collective of artists and creatives.
We are offering two $1,000 grants that are open for application to any AAC alumni. The grants will be awarded with the purpose of assisting with an artistic project or creative endeavor of any medium.
Dates:
Application Deadline: December 1st
Grant Announcement: February 1st
*Only one Alumni Grant can be awarded per alumni.
The Art Academy of Cincinnati Alumni Association established this award as our highest honor. The Alum who receive this honor have distinguished themselves by the contributions they have made in their particular field or profession, in service to the Art Academy and to the betterment of humanity. All living graduates, other than active members of the Art Academy Board of Trustees and current employees working in the Alumni Affairs and Development departments, are eligible for consideration.
We invite you to nominate a fellow alum you find worthy of the award. We will hold all nominations and supporting materials for three years to give each nominee extended consideration.
