Cincinnati Arts Association 2025 Report to the Community

2025 REPORT TO THE COMMUNITY

“ THEATRE REMINDS US THAT WE ARE NOT ALONE.”

DEAR FRIENDS,

“What have been your favorite moments at the Aronoff Center or Music Hall,” is a question we are often asked. The answer is usually quite simple: those unforgettable occasions when a group of diverse individuals come together, fully present and united by an extraordinary art experience. These moments capture the emotion, energy, and connection that art makes possible, and they are at the heart of everything we do.

During the 2024–25 Season, we welcomed more than 610,000 guests at the Aronoff Center and Music Hall for over 850 events, including theater, music, dance, opera, arts education programs, visual art exhibitions, meetings, and more. We are proud of our continued efforts to ensure everyone feels at home in our spaces, through high-quality guest services, ongoing professional and engaging staff trainings, and new audience development initiatives. This commitment is also evident in our renewed Principles of Practice, Values, and Beliefs focused on accessibility, belonging, and lifelong education.

As we look back on thirty successful years of CAA’s combined operations of the Aronoff Center and Music Hall, we are deeply grateful for the support of so many remarkable partners: our dedicated Board of Trustees; exceptional resident companies; generous members, sponsors, and donors; gifted artists, designers, and technicians; talented administrative staff; devoted volunteers; and, of course, our loyal subscribers and audiences.

We are pleased to present our 2025 Report to the Community, which highlights much of our activity during the 2024–25 season. Within these pages, you will find the people, places, and events that reflect the

powerful intersection of art and community. We hope they rekindle memories of some of your own favorite moments at the Aronoff Center and Music Hall.

Acclaimed cellist Yo-Yo Ma once wrote, “Culture is not a luxury; it is a necessity. It is what allows us to make sense of who we are, to understand one another, and to imagine a shared future. Through the arts, we learn how to listen to each other and how to belong to something larger than ourselves.” Guided by this belief, we remain committed to stewarding iconic arts destinations for our guests where all feel seen, heard, and valued, and where shared experiences foster connection, empathy, and belonging.

Looking toward the future, we are energized by what’s to come and excited to continue growing, dreaming, and celebrating the arts with you. Thank you for joining us on this remarkable journey and for helping make the arts a vital, joyful part of our community!

Warm regards,

Steve Loftin Dudley Taft President & CEO Chairman, Board of Trustees

† Denotes deceased • Current as of August 31, 2025

We were deeply saddened by the loss of a cherished member of our family—Marvel Gentry Harmon. She was a passionate dancer, a small business owner, a trusted marketing and branding professional, a successful publisher of two local neighborhood magazines, a talented performer on area stages, and a valued member of our Board of Trustees and Building Diverse Audiences Advisory Committee. Marvel’s enthusiasm, energy, smile, and laugh were infectious. Her exuberant, life-long support of the arts was driven by a heartfelt belief that the arts are a vital part of our lives and our community. Her name fit her marvelously well. She will be dearly missed!
