Made in Camp: October 12th, 2024 | 12-4 PM

It’s happening again! Mark your calendars for October 12th and plan on being in Camp Washington for a tour of artist studios, maker spaces, and creative manufacturers. Wave Pool will also be featuring our annual 9 X 18 performance art festival: The Parking Lot Experiment.

Camp Washington has always been a place of makers. Meatpackers, chili makers, sign benders, artists, metal workers… you name it, we probably make it here in Camp Washington. These yearly open studio events are the chance to celebrate these makers and offer Greater Cincinnati the chance to explore secret artist studios, galleries, maker spaces, a foundry and a neon making shop. FREE!

From 2017, each year Camp Washington’s community of 40-plus artists, galleries and makers collaborate on a big Saturday open house on the second Saturday of October. Designated “Made in Camp,” the tour is complimented by demonstrations offered by several Camp Washington manufacturers.

Made in Camp invites you to explore artist studios, maker spaces and creative manufacturers in Camp Washington. Meet printers, painters, welders, musicians and others who make something out of nothing!

An updated brochure is available each year listing The Camp’s artists, galleries and makers and incorporating a locator map for the convenience of visitors. Brightly colored orange and white signs hung along the route will match up with the numbered artist locations on the map.

Things to look forward to!
