Investments in creative careers
Vital resources for local talent
Creative Workforce Fellowship
Every day, artists are
investing in the future of Cuyahoga County. They strengthen
our economy, our education system and our community's quality of life. CPAC's Creative Workforce Fellowship invests directly in the future of these artists. Made possible by the generous support of Cuyahoga County citizens through Cuyahoga Arts and Culture, the Fellowship is designed to strengthen the voices of 20 outstanding artists each year.
For its one-year duration, every Fellowship offers a $20,000 financial award that can be used for any purpose that advances the Fellow's artistic work and professional development. The award also includes a one-year membership with the COSE Arts Network, a tuition waiver for CPAC's Artist as an Entrepreneur Institute and is included in a catalogue of the artists' work.
Two additional artists receive a Seth Rosenberg prize, which includes a $2,500 grant for supplies and equipment. These artists would step into a Fellowship if one of the recommended Fellows were unable to accept the award.
If you'd like to receive e-mail updates on the Fellowship process as they become available, please join our online community or contact CPAC via the question submission form below.
