VERGE FELLOWSHIP
Verge Fellowships are generously supported by grants from the Cleveland Foundation and Cuyahoga Arts & Culture.
ABOUT: VERGE FELLOWSHIP
In early 2017, CAP recognized a regional void to nurture and support the next generation of artistic excellence. These young, often unheralded artists are forging bold paths into Cleveland’s art scene.
These are artists whom CAP considers “on the verge.”
The On The Verge Fellowship or Verge Fellowship is CAP’s response to artists who are not yet ready to receive a Cleveland Arts Prize but who have nonetheless demonstrated creativity, passion, and commitment to the arts. As the CAP nomination period closes, CAP’s VERGE program opens.
Applicants must be 21 and older, live in greater Cleveland, and create work in one or more of the five disciplines and represent Cleveland’s diversity in the arts.
“Support for young, diverse artists is a critical gap in Cleveland’s creative infrastructure,” said Lillian Kuri, Cleveland Foundation Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer. “We are proud to partner with Cleveland Arts Prize to develop the Verge Fellowship so that more creative professionals have the ability to stay and build an artistic practice right here in Cleveland.”
“We’re pleased to support the Cleveland Arts Prize and their efforts to recognize and support Cleveland-area artists,” said Jill Paulsen, Executive Director of Cuyahoga Arts & Culture. “By funding emerging artists, CAP is providing important visibility and funding for both current and future creative leaders in our community.”
