About The Collective
The Collective is a consciously curated gallery, gift shop, and boutique with two locations in Cincinnati.
They sell a variety of pieces from over 300 artists and host artist-led classes where guests can learn
pottery, fiber arts, printing, and so much more. Their Findlay Market shop is their second location.
Owner Aly Stacy and her family founded The Collective in Columbia-Tusculum in 2020, and have been
nurturing relationships with local artisans and creatives ever since. Their grand opening weekend at
Findlay Market serves as a dual celebration, as this weekend marks their sixth year in business.

"Findlay Market has always celebrated local makers, so opening a second location here feels like coming
home. I'm honored to bring The Collective's community of artists into a neighborhood that already
values what we do. What I'm most excited about is our new creative studio space, where our artists are
offering a wide range of workshops to the community. The Collective is not just a place to shop—it's a
place to learn and create together." —Aly Stacy, Owner, The Collective
