For 52 years, the Cleveland Arts Prize has been honoring the very best creative artists in Northeast Ohio. In recent years  CAP has expanded its mission to all include the promotion of those artists.

CAP has just announced the artists who will participate in its 2012-2013 series of five “Arts Prize Live” events. These  small group gatherings provide an opportunity for between 20 and 40 people to meet the Arts Prize winner and learn  about his/her work. The schedule for this season is:

Thursday, October 25, 6:00–8:30 PM: Zygote Press Printmaking Extravaganza with Amy Casey (CAP 2009), Liz Maugans  (CAP 2012) and Bellamy Printz (CAP 2012)
