The hard work our team has put in behind the scenes for MONTHS is going to pay off, what a fun series ahead. We can't wait to announce the full schedule and highlight the amazing sponsors who make it possible! <3
Looking forward to the shows.
There’s nothing quite like Marietta First Friday. 🎨✨
We always love being part of these evenings and getting the chance to create art alongside so many amazing families in our community. Watching kids light up with creativity, seeing parents join in, and filling downtown with art, laughter, and connection is exactly why we do what we do.
Thank you to everyone who stopped by our table during May’s First Friday and spent part of your evening creating with us. Your support, creativity, and excitement mean so much to our team.
We already can’t wait for the next one! 💙

Congratulations to Tyler Hartline on receiving the Janet Frazier Award of Excellence! 🍎✨
Tyler represents exactly what great educators do every single day. He shows up for students, builds relationships, creates opportunities, and leaves a lasting impact far beyond the classroom walls.
During our celebration, we talked about the kind of teachers students remember for years to come. The ones who make kids feel seen, capable, and supported. Tyler is one of those teachers.
Artsbridge is proud to recognize educators who pour so much into the next generation, and we are incredibly thankful for the passion, care, and dedication Tyler brings to his students and our community.
Congratulations again on this well-deserved honor! 👏

Woohoo! Thanks Peoples Bank
🎨🦅 BELPRE, WE NEED YOUR VOTE. 🦅🎨
Belpre is one of the communities Artsbridge proudly serves, so when a community member approached us about partnering on a public mural project, we were excited to help bring the vision to life.
With approval from the Mayor for the location near the beloved “Beepy Tunnel”... if you know, you know 😉... we are now ready for the next step. Community input.
The mural concepts celebrate:
🦅 The City of Belpre and our Belpre Eagles
🇺🇸 America 250 Ohio
🧡 Community pride and connection
Our hope is to turn this into a true community art project involving local students, art clubs, volunteers, organizations, and residents.
We are aiming to begin painting in mid-June and would love to see the community involved throughout the process.
Take a look at the two concepts and cast your vote:
❤️ Design 1
👍 Design 2
Let’s create something meaningful together.
