The Cleveland Arts Prize has championed the arts, artists and cultural leaders in the region since 1960. In 1999, the organization began collecting images and stories about the lives of Arts Prize awardees. This ongoing project documents the accomplishments of all Cleveland Arts Prize awardees, past and present.
