Open to artists of diverse disciplines and backgrounds, including visual arts, painting, sculpting, photography, technology, dance, theater, performance, music, history, writing, and culture. This program prioritizes Latino/a/x artists and artists of color while fostering creative expression and community engagement.
This initiative awards ten Cuyahoga County artists $5,000 grants, access to the Julia de Burgos Cultural Arts Center (JDBCAC), and the opportunity to be featured during its Hispanic Heritage Month celebration. The grant fosters diversity and community engagement while supporting creative expressions aligned with our mission.
Through this partnership with Cuyahoga Arts & Culture and Assembly for the Arts, we have secured funding to establish a platform that uplifts underrepresented artists and communities, further solidifying its role as a cultural hub for artistic and community development.
