Cleveland Arts Prize APPLICATIONS ARE OPEN!

The Cleveland Arts Prize promotes creativity in Northeast Ohio by honoring artists for excellence and recognizing community leaders who help the arts and artists to flourish. Every year 5 artists are awarded with a $10,000 prize and 3-5 community leaders, or philanthropists receive honorary recognition through a Special Prize. This year, for the first time ever, we will be accepting applications for the discipline prizes, as opposed to nominations only. 

Discipline prizes are awarded in the following categories:

• Visual Arts
• Music
• Literature
• Theatre & Dance
• Design

Special Prize candidates are considered through nomination only.

Specific criteria for each prize can be found on our website.
