The Bader + Simon gallery, scheduled to open in 2025 in Cincinnati’s vibrant Over-The-Rhine neighborhood, will showcase the work of emerging, underrepresented artists and the subjects that matter most to them - subjects we all need to be exposed to. Through two gallery spaces, Bader + Simon will present rotating shows with both local artists as well as a range of global artists with 100% of sale going directly to the artist. Through our programming, we strive to be collaborative visual activists working together to educate, enlighten, and create lasting change.

The Bader + Simon Empowerment Grant, founded by the Bader + Simon Board of Directors in 2023, will bring much-needed attention to emerging, underrepresented voices and themes. Art will be used to elicit dialogue, inquiry, and understanding to broaden the impact of our work. Community programming will enhance the theme of the exhibit.
