The world of mass-market design can be difficult to break into. Especially if you don't have a design degree and aren't in the industry.
But some talented local artists working with a Cincinnati nonprofit that serves people with developmental disabilities are getting that shot.
Eight artists who participate in Visionaries + Voices programs have their designs featured on Bounty-brand paper towels distributed to grocery stores across the country thanks to an innovative partnership between the two organizations.
The program provides more than just a brief bit of exposure for the artists.
Joining Cincinnati Edition to talk about how the initiative came about and what it means for the artists are artists Leah Davis and Neil Dignan; V+V Creative Director Karen Boyhen; and Senior Designer Cathy Sonnett.
Listen to Cincinnati Edition live at noon M-F. Audio for this segment will be uploaded after 4 p.m. ET.
