The votes are in: CityBeat’s Culture Maker of the Week is Andrew Maloney.
Andrew was nominated by Holly Maloney because “If you’re looking for someone who makes Cincinnati feel like Cincinnati, Andrew is that person.
Around town, many people know him as ‘Mr. Cincinnati,’ and it’s a nickname he’s earned. Andrew doesn’t just talk about Cincinnati—he lives it every single day. He attends festivals, grand openings, neighborhood events and lives downtown, fundraisers, concerts, and community gatherings all over the city because he genuinely loves being part of what makes Cincinnati special.
What sets Andrew apart is his enthusiasm and authenticity. His excitement for the city is contagious. Whether he’s introducing someone to a hidden neighborhood gem, highlighting a local business, or sharing the stories of the people who make this city unique, he does it with joy, curiosity, and heart.”
Cincinnati culture doesn’t just happen. It’s built every day by artists, musicians, chefs, organizers, performers, business owners, neighborhood champions and wonderfully weird people who give this city its personality.
That’s why CityBeat has Culture Maker of the Week, a contest celebrating the people who make Greater Cincinnati more vibrant, joyful, thoughtful and alive, whether they’re working center stage or quietly making things happen behind the scenes.
Nominees are submitted by you, and our editors pick the three up for voting. Nominate a Culture Maker here!
