“Cleveland arts prize ("cap") continues to deepen its impact on the region's arts and culture community through meaningful programming, generous support for artists, and community engagement. Cap hosted its 64th annual awards event on october 24, 2024, at cuyahoga community college's east campus, recognizing outstanding achievement in the arts. Cap awarded three unrestricted 10,000 prizes to artists in the emerging, mid-career, and lifetime achievement categories across various artistic disciplines. In addition, five 2,000 verge fellowships will be awarded to pre-emerging artists in cuyahoga county, offering both financial support and professional development opportunities. Cap also continues to invest in the future of the arts by awarding scholarships to high school and college students through partnerships with area schools. In its commitment to convening and connecting the arts community, cap has introduced a new series of tours of performing arts venues, offering opportunities for cap supporters, trustees, and the public to engage directly with local artistic directors and performers who are cleveland arts prize winners. This initiative has strengthened ties across disciplines and created platforms for dynamic conversation and collaboration. Cap's reach and influence have expanded through strategic board development, growing the board of trustees to 25 members, bringing new perspectives and resources to the organization. As cap looks ahead, it remains dedicated to honoring the region's most accomplished artists, uplifting the next generation of creatives, and enhancing cultural vibrancy across northeast ohio.”
