[NEohioPAL]Cleveland Arts and Cultural Summit

[Bodwin Theatre]

Group:  Some of you may have heard about the Cleveland Arts and Culture 
Summit, under the sponsorship of the Community Partnership for Arts and 
Culture, Mayor Jane Campbell and Cleveland City Council, to be held on May 
15th at Cleveland City Hall (Lakeside Avenue and East 6th Street).  The 
summit is to bring together arts groups across the range of disciplines and 
draw attention to the importance of artists, arts and cultural organizations 
as assets that produce extraordinary quality of life and place, strengthen 
the regional economy and improve education at all levels.
The summit has an information gathering and public display component.  Arts 
organizations are encouraged to express their points of view on five points:
* increased public access to the arts;
* expanding resources for arts;
* education;
* opportunities for collaboration; and
* public awareness.

Afterwards, a public rally is planned outside Cleveland City Hall (by the 
Claus Oldenburg 'Free Stamp' along E. 9th St.). Mayor Jane Campbell, 
Cleveland City Council President Frank Jackson and leading council members 
like arts advocate Joe Cimperman, are expected to speak.  The event is free 
and open to the public.

The summit is an important opportunity for the arts community to discuss 
their role in public life and public policy debate.
