Wave Pool teams up with The Amos Lemon Burkhart Foundation, 1N5, and WordPlay, to host STAY ALIVE / MAKE ART / CINCINNATI, a candy-colored PARTICIPATORY EXHIBITION that addresses adolescent mental health and addiction issues using hands-on inter-actives, public engagements, and creative activities.

STAY ALIVE / MAKE ART / CINCINNATI is inspired by the work of Amos Lemon Burkhart, a young artist who died as a result of drugs and alcohol in 2018. His work is the backbone of the show and the multilayered, neon-colored works in the Foundation’s collection, are dense with images and words that paint a picture of his turbulent inner life—resonating powerfully with teens.

The show is on view through October 28th.
