We believe in empowering the next generation of artists in the Land.

For Art’s Sake is a dynamic initiative celebrating the intersection of art, community, and purpose. By embracing a wide range of activations, each tailored to address unique opportunities and challenges, For Art’s Sake creates meaningful connections and inspires collective pride for artists and the creator economy.

From public art installations to collaborative festivals, the initiative transforms Cleveland’s spaces into platforms for creativity, conversation, & change.

At its core, For Art’s Sake is about empowering diverse voices, fostering a sense of belonging, and addressing the evolving needs of the community through art.

Rather than adhering to a single theme, the initiative thrives on the diversity of its activations, united by a shared mission: to enrich lives, ignite imaginations, and build a more vibrant, inclusive future for Cleveland.

For Art’s Sake is inviting creators across all disciplines—visual artists, musicians, performers, writers, and more—to join us in crafting unforgettable experiences. This is your chance to collaborate on inspiring projects, showcase your work to new audiences, and connect with a vibrant community of creatives.
