Located inside the iconic church-turned-brewery that houses Urban Artifact, Radio Artifact is one of Cincinnati’s most creative cultural spaces. Part recording studio, part performance venue, and part community hub, is a place built to amplify independent voices and bring people together through music.
A Studio Designed for Local Sound
Radio Artifact was created to give independent artists a platform at a time when local music outlets were disappearing. Today, it operates as a fully functional recording and broadcast studio in Northside’s culture-rich neighborhood that is intentionally designed to feel intimate, flexible, and connected to the community it serves.
Artists can use the space to:
- Record private or live sessions
- Perform in front of an in-person audience
- Broadcast performances locally and online
- Capture multi-track audio and multi-camera video
The result is a studio that supports creativity at every stage, from first recordings to fully produced showcases.
More Than a Studio, A Living Radio Station
Radio Artifact does not just record music. It shares it. The station streams a wide range of programming that highlights independent artists, DJs, and community voices across genres.
Listeners can expect:
- Eclectic, locally driven radio programming
- Curated shows hosted by artists and creatives
- Live broadcasts that spotlight Cincinnati talent
It is the kind of place where discovery happens naturally, one song, set, or session at a time.
A Performance Space That Feels Personal
As a venue, Radio Artifact offers something refreshingly different. Events feel immersive, creative, and rooted in community rather than polished spectacle.
Recent and recurring events include:
- Live music sessions and ticketed performances
- Jazz nights and themed showcases
- Open mic and jam-style events
Because recording, broadcasting, and performing all happen under one roof, every event feels connected. Each moment is captured and shared beyond the room.
Where Community and Creativity Meet
At its heart, Radio Artifact is about connection. It connects artists with audiences, neighbors with shared experiences, and Cincinnati’s historic spaces with its creative future.
Whether you are a musician looking for a place to create or a music lover searching for something genuinely local, Radio Artifact offers a front-row seat to the sounds shaping Cincinnati’s cultural scene.
