NowThatsCincinnati.com is a free, no-nonsense, simple to access, comprehensive list of arts and community oriented events for the upcoming week in Greater Cincinnati. There's even a map. Check out the site! We're very proud of it!
A few years ago, co-founders Kevin and Alessandro (both local musicians), fed up with Facebook's clunky event listings, decided to create our own website in the tradition of Cincinnati's retired treasured DIY calendar.
We're currently word of mouth and donation based, and advertising or playing favorites on the site is antithetical to the project's values, but we'd both like to get Kevin proper paid for the fantastic work he continues to do to make this a special resource.
The list also requires daily upkeep: debugging, and finding and entering one-off shows. More revenue would allow us to partner with local media organizations and get the resource to more people. More users means more donations, and more users contributing their own events means less work on our end.
Third, the DIY calendar was designed each month by a guest artist, and with available resources we'd like to continue that tradition, and commission local artists to design the page at regular intervals.
The ultimate dream is to expand and partner with community organizers and media in other cities. The site is easy to upscale and replicate, and we think every city should have something like it.
