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.

And now, the Community Partnership for Arts and Culture and Cuyahoga Arts and Culture are investing directly in the future of Cuyahoga County's artists. Each year, the Creative Workforce Fellowship provides $20,000 awards to 20 extraordinary Cuyahoga County artists. With this $400,000, we'll help local artists dream bigger in ways that will benefit them for years to come. And by aiding greater Cleveland's talented artist community, we'll be strengthening our community as a whole.

This video shows the talent, passion and dedication of the 2009 and 2010 Creative Workforce Fellowship ... and why Cuyahoga County is a great place for artists to live and work. We hope you enjoy!

The Creative Workforce Fellowship is a program of the Community Partnership for Arts & Culture, made possible by the generous support of Cuyahoga County citizens through Cuyahoga Arts and Culture.
