I had the privilege of being part of the 1001 Colors (ArtWorks Cincinnati) event last night, and it reminded me in a powerful way of just how fortunate I truly am. Standing in that space, surrounded by an incredible range of artistry, bold expression, and tangible creative energy, I was struck by how far we’ve come and how much we’ve been able to experience along the way. Moments like that make it clear that gratitude isn’t just a feeling—it’s an obligation to recognize the people, projects, and communities that have shaped our path.
Looking around the room, seeing so many distinct styles and voices represented, I was reminded of the role we’ve had the opportunity to play in this broader creative ecosystem. Over the years, we’ve had the chance to screen print for more than half of the artists featured at the event. That’s not a statistic to casually mention; it’s a testament to the trust these artists have placed in us. Whether it was a full-scale collaboration from concept to completion, a small run of prints that supported a specific show or release, or a one-off project that helped turn an idea into something tangible, each partnership has carried real weight and meaning. Every print we’ve pulled has been part of a larger story—someone’s vision made real, someone’s message finding a physical form.
Being part of that process is not something we take lightly. We understand that when an artist comes to us, they’re not just asking for ink on paper; they’re asking for care, craft, and respect for their work. To see those pieces gathered together under one roof at 1001 Colors, displayed alongside so many other incredible works, reinforced exactly why we do what we do.
We are genuinely grateful to be embedded in this level of creativity, to be surrounded by people who push boundaries, challenge norms, and continue to redefine what art can be. And to experience all of this in Cincinnati—a city that continues to grow, evolve, and celebrate the arts with such authenticity and pride—makes it even more meaningful. We are proud to contribute to this creative landscape and honored to call this beautiful, vibrant city our home.
