Since then the Arts Prize commissioned an Arts Prize medal, launched a scholarship program and established the tradition of holding an Annual Awards Event to honor the accomplishments of Artists in Northeast Ohio. This unique exhibition will launch a new Cleveland Arts Prize tradition focusing its outreach in a Cleveland neighborhood.
