Meet Logan Probst
Director of Education & Community Outreach
Logan Probst brings more than a decade of experience in youth development, education, and arts advocacy to her role as Education & Community Outreach Director at Antonio Violins & Ukuleles. Her work centers on connecting students, educators, community programs, and global initiatives with the tools and opportunities needed to make music accessible for everyone.
Logan’s career began in the social services sector, where she worked to address food and housing insecurity across Northern Kentucky and Cincinnati. While earning her Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees in Social Work from Northern Kentucky University, she coordinated student access to basic needs through FUEL NKU, later helping to establish similar student food pantries at Cincinnati State. Her early work focused on building community networks, expanding access to resources, and empowering individuals through education and advocacy.
She went on to work within Campbell County Schools and Cincinnati Public Schools, working directly with students, families, and educators to identify barriers to success and connect school communities with critical supports. These experiences deepened her understanding of how social work, education, and the arts intersect to create equitable opportunities for young people.
Logan’s passion for the arts led her to Price Hill Will, a nonprofit dedicated to strengthening community through creative placemaking and neighborhood revitalization. She first served as Arts Development Coordinator, then as Development Manager, working alongside MYCincinnati, Price Hill Will’s free El Sistema youth orchestra, and Antonio Violins’ primary giving organization. In those roles, she raised more than $600,000 in support of no-cost arts programming, collaborating with the City of Cincinnati, ArtsWave, the Ohio Arts Council, the Haile Foundation, the D’Addario Foundation, and many others to expand opportunities for young musicians and community-based arts initiatives.
Beyond her professional work, Logan is a certified yoga teacher and serves on the Board of Directors for Vitality Cincinnati, a nonprofit promoting wellness and mindfulness in the community. She has also volunteered with Visionaries + Voices, supporting differently abled artists in developing their creative practice and visibility.
At Antonio Violins, Logan leads our educational partnerships, school and community accounts, and School Scholarship Program, while also coordinating outreach events and interactive experiences across the region. She serves as the main point of contact for teachers, programs, and arts organizations. Providing resources, instruments, and support that strengthen music education locally and globally.
Her approach is rooted in collaboration, equity, and the belief that music, and the connections it creates, can uplift and transform communities.
