"Perhaps one of the best-kept secrets of greater Cleveland is the multi-billion dollar impact of arts and culture. A new organization, Assembly for the Arts, debuts next month and is looking to showcase that economic might by bringing local arts groups together to speak with one voice.⠀
Assembly will be led by Jeremy Johnson, a former Northeast Ohio resident who’s returning home with some fresh ideas about the power of collaboration."⠀

Today, Arts Cleveland says a terribly heavy-hearted goodbye to Kevin Moore, Cleveland Play House Managing Director and long-time Arts Cleveland Board member. Greater Cleveland has lost an incredible advocate and positive force in the arts community far too early. Kevin has been a member of Arts Cleveland’s Board of Trustees since 2014 and has dedicated countless hours to serving, supporting and guiding the mission and vision of our organization. He was a joyful presence on our board and consistently worked hard to remind us of the silver lining in many difficult situations. We will miss him dearly and our hearts go out to his family, friends and colleagues. We look back at his messages to the community with fondness: https://www.clevelandplayhouse.com/about/cph-stories/a-message-from-kevin-moore-managing-director

SMU DataArts 2020 Arts Vibrancy Index Report has j

SMU DataArts 2020 Arts Vibrancy Index Report has just named the Cleveland-Elyria MSA as one of the top 20 most vibrant arts communities across the U.S.! Our rank in this year’s report increased from 2019 by 6 places, pushing us to 13th out of the top 40 arts-thriving cities throughout the country.

What makes us Arts-Vibrant? The Arts Vibrancy Index evaluates cities by looking at their Arts & Culture Ecosystem. That includes artists, arts and cultural organizations and arts-delivery systems. Three key scores for the ranking are the presence and abundance of arts providers, arts dollars, and government support for the arts in the region.

A huge thank you to our local organizations and individuals, especially CAC grant recipients, who have tirelessly contributed data to SMU DataArts. Thanks also to the thought-provoking artists, creators, and businesses whose contributions make our community more vibrant every day. Check out the report here
