About Chris...

Chris Hoeting is one of our two founding members. He hails from the great Queen City and is happy to contribute his knowledge and skill sets to the mission of parProjects.

Chris is an artist as well as an educator who started his professional education at University of Dayton, where he earned his BFA in sculpture and painting back in 2002. He received a number of awards while at UD, including the Mary Dunsky Award -- based on artistic merit -- which helped encourage him to continue his artistic pursuits. The University of Maryland, College Park was the next stop on his educational journey, where he earned his Masters of Fine Arts degree (painting) in 2004.

Since finishing his University studies, Chris has taught fine arts at Montgomery College, The University of Maryland, Xavier University, and The University of Dayton where he's currently a guest lecturer. This skill and passion to teach is why Chris leads the way (working with other teammates) in the development of parProjects' educational programming. Plus, his clear goals, and familiarity with Cincinnati help him fine tune ideas so they'll work well within the city.

In concert with these points, its important to understand that Mr. Hoeting is a practicing artist as well. He uses one of a kind painting techniques to create sculptural images that you have to see in person to truly appreciate. He's exhibited his work in galleries throughout the US and abroad -- having shown in places such as Indiana, Maryland, Pennsylvania, Virginia, and Dundee, Scotland -- and looks forward to where his work will take him. His most recent exhibition was at the Weston Art Gallery in Cincinnati, OH and he's been enjoying the creative momentum that show provided since.

Beyond this, Chris stays tuned to public radio and enjoys watching films in his free time. Plus, you can catch him in & out of galleries/museums day and night. He also enjoys the occasional Unicorn Bloodbath soccer game.
