Arts

The Foundation remained committed 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. We continued to encourage the arts to play a role in energizing and revitalizing communities with a $1.5 million grant to the Cleveland Institute of Art for its expanded campus in University Circle’s Uptown District. Arts grantmaking totaled $3,425,362.
