Make your mark at BLINK

Fifth Third is proud to return to BLINK in 2026 for our fourth installation. This year, we're turning Fountain Square into a sprawling playground of laser graffiti, celebrating everything the arts does for our region.

As ArtsWave prepares for its 100th anniversary, there’s never been a better time to celebrate the creativity, expression and cultural energy that make Cincinnati city such a special place.

BLINK look-back: OPEN

In 2024, we partnered with B!G ART for a massive, multi-sensory installation filled with interactive surprises. It was a celebration of the transformation Fifth Third has helped fuel in Cincinnati and a tribute to the next generation of changemakers.
