Public CAC funding supports and enriches creative programming
Over the past three years, Lake Erie Ink has received over $15,000 dollars in support from Cuyahoga Arts & Culture. This type of funding strengthens our community, and enriches the quality of life in our neighborhoods for people of all ages.
The financial support received from the residents of Cuyahoga County through Cuyahoga Arts & Culture has allowed Lake Erie Ink to expand our popular Weekend Ink monthly workshops and other programs. In 2015-15, we served over 100 youth grades 3 and up during our monthly Saturday morning workshops. Each month, we focus on a different genres, including poetry, photography, storytelling, comics, maskmaking and more.
Cuyahoga Arts & Culture is the public funder of arts and culture organizations, programs and events in Cuyahoga County.
