More Information about The Red Door Project:  For a decade, the Red Door Project has been a vibrant part of Cincinnati’s artistic landscape, providing a platform for local artists to shine. Founded in 2014 by Barbara Hauser, this initiative has championed creativity, inclusivity, and community engagement. As it marks its milestone 10th anniversary, the Red Door Project is set to transition into an ArtWorks program, ushering in a new chapter of expansion and collaboration. Originally started as a pop-up art gallery event in Over-the-Rhine under Hauser’s guidance, who is now a valued member of the ArtWorks board, the initiative transformed vacant retail spaces into vibrant showcases of artistic talent. Over the past decade, the Red Door Project has exhibited artworks from artists across Cincinnati at various locations. This year, ArtWorks is proud to bring the auction to Walnut Hills and Covington. Celebrate  with us and submit your application to our inaugural Red Door auctions this year!
