Local artists are at the heart of the Piqua Arts Council. Homegrown Arts gives us the opportunity to spotlight the incredible talent in our community and highlight how their creativity enriches the region. This video interview series allows us to sit down with local artists, hear their stories, explore their work, and follow their journey within the local arts scene.

As part of this initiative, we are also committed to connecting artists who are excelling in their careers with the broader community—showing that a fulfilling and sustainable profession in the arts is possible. In the future, we will expand this effort through Career Conversation, a program where art professionals will share presentations about their career paths and what it looks like to work in the arts professionally.
