Our Vision
Our vision is to foster a vibrant, sustainable arts culture across Ohio, where art is not confined to galleries but is meaningful in everyday life. In addition, we seek to immortalize and project the stories of artists within our physical and digital media.What is The Scribe?
The Scribe is a nonprofit and community-driven arts newspaper that brings Ohio’s vibrant art scene to a location near you! By connecting the community to beautiful art, and the artists behind it, we make art accessible and enjoyable for everyone. Our model ensures that neither artists, nor the common person, face any significant obstacles towards the viewing of good art. Every issue is thoughtfully crafted to reflect the creativity it celebrates, transforming spaces like coffee shops, waiting rooms, and local businesses by enhancing their atmosphere with local art. Originally founded in Toledo, The Scribe is expanding across Ohio, now supporting artists in Columbus, Cincinnati, and Cleveland!Promoting Local Artists
Art is great for our well-being, yet life as an artist can be stressful! Modern artists face many obstacles to their growth, such as income insecurity, and notably, limited visibility and acknowledgment of their work.1 While art is great for our well-being, artists unfortunately face significant obstacles, such as financial instability and limited visibility of their work. The Scribe addresses these issues by offering free and accessible exposure for Ohio artists, ensuring more of their time and money is spent building their craft.
