Using geodata and existing resources such as CincyArtsGuide.com, create a mobile app that would allow people to find art and arts experiences near them and then check in, rate and share those experiences. Users will create a personal, lifelong digital arts diary and build social communities around arts participation – theoretically around the world. Ideally, the solution also would suggest arts experiences based on user check-ins and ratings and, for the Cincinnati market, include click-thrus to venue ticket websites and opportunities for ArtsWave ArtsPass members to accrue discounts based on a loyalty rewards system.

Capture people’s inspiration by and engagement with the arts by building a digital way for them to learn more about the artist(s) and issues presented as well as follow the artist(s) and discover more work by them.

People often want to go to an exhibit or performance but don’t want to go alone. Give people a digital way to find and connect with people who have similar arts interests.

Capitalizing on the Cincinnati Art Museum’s large permanent collection, which will be digital this spring, build a tool that would allow people to curate and share their own art exhibit.

Many Cincinnati artists and arts organizations create and perform new work that then goes on to great acclaim and wide appeal elsewhere. Build a solution that would allow people to track Cincinnati premieres and artists.

Help people pair arts events and experiences with other Cincinnati establishments and attractions, for example, suggesting a great restaurant – based on food-type, proximity and atmosphere – with a showing of a new play.

Use technology to enliven the lobby space before and after performances to immerse people in the arts experience and allow them to interact and engage in new ways with the work being presented.

Use social media posts and pictures to build patron profiles and to discover behavior patterns and preferences among visitors. Then, take that information to target new audience members and to help guide and focus programming.
