Thank You
|
When
you voted for Issue 18, you put in motion creation of a fund of public
monies dedicated solely for arts and culture in Cuyahoga County.
On Friday "Cuyahoga Arts and Culture (CAC) announced ... that it is
awarding $15
million in General Operating Support (GOS) grants to 68 arts and
cultural organizations located in the district." (read more)
Grants
were calculated from a formula based on an organization's budget for
their most recently completed fiscal year and their score in an open
panel review. Based on our 2005-2006 budget of $149,000 and score
of 85, we will receive $24,972 for the 2008 calendar year. You
can see what grants were awarded on a link on this page, and what organization's scores were here.
Many
people ask us how we are funded. Income is from individual and
business donations, foundations, and earned income from tuition, sales
of art, and admissions. The addition of local public support for
operating costs is a welcome one! Public dollars well
spent. Thank you.
Project Support grants are due February 27.

Poetry Workshop with Lou Suarez
|
Tuesday, December 11 at 7 pm 
Heights Arts Studio
2340 Lee Road, Cleveland Heights
(west side of Heights Library bridge)
216.371.3457
Poetry
exercises, like stretching exercises, can serve to increase a poet's
flexibility and range. (Stretching exercises are also thought to
prevent injury and reduce post-exercise muscle soreness, so the
metaphor isn't perfect. But what
metaphor is?) Anyway, this two-hour
class will explore the use of poetry exercises in one's writing routine
and give participants an opportunity to write in response to one or
two. Poets of all experience levels are welcome!
Lou Suarez is the author of one book of poems, Ask (Midlist Press) and three poetry
chapbooks: Losses of Moment (Kent State University Press), The Grape Painter (Frost Heaves Press), and On US 6 to Providence (Red Mountain Press).
$10 per person
