Cleveland Arts Prize

Emeritus Trustee

 

Please Meet the Newly Elected CAP Board of Trustees

In the non-profit community we recognize the impact a board could have on the success and growth of an organization.  A Working board, a governing board and an advisory board can shape the direction of a non-profit.  For the past year and a half the board of trustees of the Cleveland Arts Prize has taken the time to restructure and re-evaluate the direction of the nearly 60-year-old organization.  With its consistent history, the Cleveland Arts Prize has been a vital voice in the region for recognizing arts excellence and nurturing an arts legacy that is unprecedented and envied in other parts of the country.  The Cleveland Arts Prize today is focused on increased visibility for winners past and present, transparency of the jury process, which is the primary mission of the organization, and outreach.   Outreach to a global audience and outreach to the broader artist community.

This year the Cleveland Arts Prize welcomes five new members to the Board of Trustees. Michael Belkin, Senior Vice President of Live Nation Entertainment, Daniel Gray-Kontar, Chair, Literary Arts Dept., Cleveland School of the Arts, Katharine A. Morley, currently continuing her education at Christie’s Education in NYC, NY, Karen Skunta, President and Creative Director of Karen Skunta & Company, and Thomas A. Schiltz, CPA, CFP, Wealth Advisor at Key Bank.

As we approach the new year with an extraordinary and committed board, we remind you to take a few moments to nominate your favorite artist or arts advocate for a Cleveland Arts Prize.  You, the public, drive our nomination process.  The nomination season for 2016 closes on Sunday, January 31, 2016 at midnight.   Please visit clevelandartsprize.org for complete details.
