Arts in Our City
|| Thursday, November 9 / 6:00 – 7:30 pm. || Our local decision-makers play a critical role in how arts and culture and artists are valued and supported in our city. With the announcement of a new position in city administration specifically designed to support our arts and culture industries, we want to open up an authentic conversation between our arts community and city and county leadership. How can we work together to realize a greater vision for Cleveland’s arts and culture?
This conversation hosted as part of REvision, a series of community discussions focused on reimagining and addressing key challenges faced by Greater Cleveland’s arts and culture industry. Register to attend this free conversation.
Registration isn’t required but will help us plan for the best discussion possible. Accessible location coming soon!
Guaranteed Basic Income
|| Thursday, October 12 / 6:00 – 7:30 pm. || What would it look like if artists could work knowing they’d receive a guaranteed paycheck every month to supplement their creative work? Other cities are trying this. Join the discussion to learn how they’re doing it and what this could mean in Cleveland’s arts community.
What is guaranteed income? Defined by Springboard for the Arts, an artist support organization in Minneapolis, “A guaranteed income is a monthly cash payment given directly to individuals. It’s unconditional with no strings attached and no work requirements and is meant to supplement, rather than replace, existing social safety nets and can be a tool for racial and gender equity.”
Learn more about Springboard’s Guaranteed Income Pilot program and discuss this concept as a group with Assembly.
