The Cleveland Arts Prize has been recognizing creative talent in northeast Ohio at all stages of their careers in a variety of disciplines — visual art, theater, dance, film, music, literature — for more than six decades, honoring more than 350 creators as well as arts supporters and organizations. It honors emerging artists, mid-career artists and lifetime achievement. And each year, it has an event to celebrate.
This year’s 64th annual CAP Annual Awards Ceremony again takes place at Tri-C East’s Mandel Theater and includes performances from past winners, appetizers, a cash bar and live music from the ubiquitous DJ Red-I (Brittany Benton), who knows how to get a party started.
This year’s winners include Amber Ford, a young photographer who deftly combines commercial and fine art work, with the Emerging Artist Prize for Visual Arts (sadly for us and happily for her, she is leaving Cleveland for Chicago). The Mid Career Artist Prize was awarded to Baldwin Wallace music professor and composer Clint Needham, while photographer Barbara Bosworth, whose show Sun Light Moon Shadow was on view at the Cleveland Museum of Art this past spring is the winner of the Lifetime Achievement Artist Prize in Visual Arts.
The awards for arts patrons and organizers include the Robert P. Bergman Prize to founding executive director of Artful Cleveland Shannon Morris; the Martha Joseph Prize for Distinguished Service to the Arts to CityMusic founder and emeriti trustees Dr. Ronald and Eugenia Strauss; and the Barbara Robinson Prize for the Advancement of the Arts to Ellen Stirn Mavec, President and Chairman of The Kelvin & Eleanor Smith Foundation.
