Capes

Presented by ARTWORKS Hero Design Company’s mission is to show the world that regardless of limitation or circumstance every child possesses an amazing and unique array of strengths and real world super powers. Our goal is to engage, encourage, and empower children facing emotional, physical, or medical hardship through the creation of custom superhero capes. Together we seek to unite our community and prove that within every child lives a true HERO.

How it Works:

Our Hero Design Facilitators are expertly trained in our custom Hero Identification Process. Through a brief semistructured interview our facilitators help each child to identify their own personal strengths, abilities, and real world super powers. Using these powers as a guide each child and facilitator engage in a co-design process focused on defining the child’s new superhero persona, complete with hero name and insignia. Our facilitators then refine the new insignia and create a personalized superhero cape. Faster than a speeding bullet the cape is delivered to the child, ready to show the world how special they are.

Through Hero Design Company, ArtWorks touched the lives of hundreds of children and adults in 2012, offering mask-making workshops and one-on-one cape-design sessions with local area non-profit organizations, including Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center, Ronald McDonald House Charities of Greater Cincinnati, Contemporary Arts Center, Delhi Middle School, GLAD House, and Boys & Girls Club of Greater Cincinnati. In 2013, we hope to reach twice as many children and enable many more HEROES!
