Investments in creative careers
Vital resources for local talent
Creative Workforce Fellowship
Artists work hard to secure financial resources. CPAC's Creative Workforce Fellowship (CWF) program, made possible through the generous funding of Cuyahoga Arts and Culture, is designed to add a new source of financial investment for eligible Cuyahoga County artists. For its one-year duration, every fellowship offers a $20,000 financial award, a membership with the COSE Arts Network, a tuition waiver for CPAC's Artist as an Entrepreneur Institute, and inclusion in the publication of Fellows' work. For more information about the CWF program, please review this Program Overview.
