The Cleveland Arts Prize

Special Citation
for Distinguished Service to the Arts

The Cleveland Arts Prize has also deemed it important to celebrate those individuals who have, through exceptional mastery or commitment, vision or leadership, made a significant contribution to the vitality and stature of the arts in Cleveland. The recipients of the Cleveland Arts Prize Special Citation for Distinguished Service to the Arts have given us a world-class orchestra and art museum, a lively theater scene, a school of the arts that has won national attention, and regular access to the great films and other art of our time, from around the nation and the world. They have mentored new generations of performers, lobbied politicians to increase government support of the arts, led the cultural institutions that nourish a diverse community, and challenged us to embrace the best in ourselves.
