According to a recent story in CAN Journal, 96.6% of arts funding from Cuyahoga Arts & Culture is being awarded to arts organizations, with only the remaining 3.4% reserved for individual artists. Grant amounts for individual artists will be provided through re-granting from four organizations in the $4000-6250 range. CAN Journal notes, “the way Cuyahoga Arts and Culture funds individual artists and the degree to which it should do so has been one of the most contentious issues in the organization’s 16 year history.”
