Arts

The Foundation made additional capital commitments to two organizations, the Gordon Square Arts District and the Museum of Contemporary Art Cleveland, that are contributing to the revitalization of key urban areas. The Foundation also continued its commitment to ensuring the vitality of Cleveland’s arts community and nurturing its creative class with grants to organizations, both large and small, that reached audiences in neighborhoods and schools as well as in traditional performance and exhibition venues and that offered opportunities for local artists. Arts grantmaking totaled $3,459,020 as well as a $2 million program-related investment.
