The Cleveland Foundation's Arts Advancement Program is designed to enhance the management skills, improve operating efficiency, and improve financial positions of participants. The three-year initiative will addresses the chronic under-capitalization of Cleveland-area mid-sized arts organizations while developing a network of highly skilled leaders, including staff and board members.
The Arts Advancement Program provides a curriculum of executive education, collaborative learning sessions, and individual mentoring, coaching, and expert assistance. In addition, each participating organization will receive a three-year operating support grant and a one-time advancement grant to improve the organization's long-term stability.
The cohort for this program includes:
- Apollo's Fire
- Cleveland Film Society
- Great Lakes Theater Festival
- Museum of Contemporary Art Cleveland
- Young Audiences of Northeast Ohio
