The Welcome Project is growing! February 8th is their grand opening for the Welcome Market, a place to grab kitchen essentials as well as spices, breads, and specialty items from all over the world. Find items created by local immigrant and refugee chefs and artisans as well as food items and spices from Dean’s Mediterranean, Horchata, and Utsavastu. Fresh produce grown by Kyle Penunuri with the Camp Washington Urban Farm will also be available.

Radha Lakshmi is our exhibiting artist at The Welcome Project for the month of February and is creating a tea lounge/sitting area in the front of the Welcome Market as part of her installation, which will also debut this evening. The Welcome Market and Kitchen expansion is funded in large part due to an Impact 100 grant received in Fall 2018 and additional funding from the Haile Foundation. The full commercial kitchen will open later in 2020 for cooking classes and pop-up dinners.

Come check out their brand new space and celebrate this beautiful new resource and gathering space for Camp Washington, Cincinnati, and their newest neighbors.
