Even the most dedicated artist needs to get out of the studio once in a while.

We make sure AAC students do, offering a wide range of activities and events throughout the year. Some of the highlights include:

New York or Washington D.C. Trip
Every other year, about 35 AAC students spend five days in New York or Washington D.C. While there they visit galleries and working studios, tour museums, and do a little sight-seeing.

smART series
This lunch-hour lecture series features entertaining one-hour talks by professionals from throughout Cincinnati’s art community—artists, designers, teachers, critics, you name it. There are generally three lectures per semester.

Soccer at AAC
AAC’s lone sports club, the Stinks, plays indoor soccer against teams from other organizations in the local art community. It’s a co-ed team, and the competition is pretty lighthearted.

Final Fridays                                                                                                                                                                                                                The Art Academy galleries are part of the monthly Final Friday Art Walk in Over-the-Rhine. Galleries throughout the neighborhood stay open until 10 p.m. on the last Friday of each month. Final Friday receptions in the AAC galleries are open to the public and hosted by faculty and students.
