About
The original organization made its mark as Young Friends of the Arts in the 1960s. Inspired to introduce the University of Cincinnati’s College Conservatory of Music students to the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra with Phyllis Weston and Irma Lazarus as co-founders of the organization. The two pioneering women sought to foster the next generation of artists and their supporters with membership costs at just a few dollars.[3]
Former members of Young Friends of the Arts wanted to reinstate their beloved organization for the modern age and Young Friends of the Arts members who had aged-out of the previous program. Enjoy the Arts was founded in 1981 to make Cincinnati's arts programs more accessible to even more audiences.[4] Members would receive an actual coupon book that granted VIP access and two free tickets to every participating arts event in the city, as well as exclusive invites to parties and happy hours on top of year-long ticket price reduction.[4] Various price, age, and voucher structures were implemented and tested from 1981 to 2016. At one point, Enjoy the Arts offered two memberships: "Orange" for members under 35 and young professionals and "Noir" for people of all ages.[5] Other structures included membership costs at $50 USD for a year-long membership with a discounted student rate of $35 USD.[4][6] Participating arts organizations included the Cincinnati Opera, Cincinnati Ballet, Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra & Pops, and Playhouse in the Park among others.[5]
In April 2013, under manager Jennifer Foster, Enjoy the Arts partnered with Gaslight web developers, located in Blue Ash, Ohio, and Cincinnati branding agency We Have Become Vikings to modernize the organization even further.[4] Enjoy the Arts underwent a brand repositioning and a website re-launch that features "an energetic new image that combines the nonprofit’s roots with attitude."[4] For example, the organization's current brand mascot is William Shakespeare "with his face painted à la Kiss."[4] The mantra in the new look is that "everything needs to be fun."[7] Additionally, the site became more in tune with smart phone technology.[4] Rather than providing coupon booklets, Enjoy the Arts posted hundreds of free tickets on their website for members to claim on a first-come, first-served basis, similar to deal of the day websites like Groupon and Living Social, and members can go back to organizations for half-price all year long.[6] An unveiling party was held at the American Sign Museum.[8] In addition to providing access to Cincinnati's premier arts organizations, Enjoy the Arts also hosted its own parties and events.[4]
Enjoy the Arts was previously in residence at the Cincinnati Museum Center and was a subsidiary of the museum. In addition, the non-profit was largely supported by the Carol Ann and Ralph V. Haile, Jr./U.S. Bank Foundation, ArtsWave and Joseph-Beth Booksellers. In December 2016, Enjoy the Arts, the Cincinnati Museum Center, and ArtsWave announced a merger between Enjoy the Arts and ArtsWave.[9] As of January 2017, Enjoy the Arts was completely absorbed into ArtsWave's ArtsPass program and expanded the range of deals [10]offered to current ArtsWave donors and Enjoy the Arts members. Combining forces meant combining resources including more deals for young professional passholders, more participating arts and business partners, free ticket opportunities and VIP experiences. A change for Enjoy the Arts members, their new ArtsPass purchase price goes to support 100 arts organizations as part of the ArtsWave Community Campaign.[11]
