Abstract:
Northeast Ohio’s newest high-ranking arts leader says his life was transformed by early exposure to Cleveland Orchestra concerts at Severance Hall and the gleaming medieval armor at the Cleveland Museum of Art. Now he wants to make sure that more people can enjoy experiences like the ones he had growing up in Cleveland’s Hough and Glenville neighborhoods. He also wants to make sure the city’s enviable cultural sector grows even stronger and more influential.

Abstract:
A new nonprofit organization launching in June that aims to build a “model to serve all of Cleveland’s arts community” has named the person who will lead the effort. The group is called Assembly for the Arts, and on Monday morning, May 10, it announced it has selected Jeremy V. Johnson, a Cleveland native and most recently executive director of Newark Arts in New Jersey, as its leader. Johnson was chosen after a national search.
