Cincinnati Artist Network (CAN)

“The arts” don’t exist without the artists.

We’re building a creative ecosystem that supports independent artists and creatives with the same kind of access, resources, and opportunities Big Business gets.

Because creativity is real-deal, professional work. And “doing what you love” shouldn’t mean doing it all alone—or doing it for free.

So, we’re doing things differently: We’re creating a platform that values art as part of everyday life.

For artists: It’s part directory, part resource hub, part unofficial support group (but with access to healthcare and actual client leads).

For everyone: It’s a new way to find artists, hire artists, and help build a region where creative work is seen, supported, and sustainable.

Whether you’re here to grow your creative business or just believe art makes everything better—we’d love to keep you in the loop.
