Cleveland Arts Prize promotes creativity in Northeast Ohio by honoring artists
for artistic excellence and recognizes community leaders who help regional
arts flourish. 
The Cleveland Arts Prize (CAP) was established by the Women’s City Club in
1960, and continues today as the nation’s oldest municipal arts award and an
ongoing platform for celebrating Northeast Ohio’s exceptional arts
community. In its earliest years, the group commissioned the Arts Prize medal,
launched a scholarship program and established an endowment that secured the
annual awarding of prizes.

The nominator for a special prize candidate may suggest the specific award
they feel their candidate is best suited for, but the Cleveland Arts Prize

Determination of Winners

Discipline Prize winners receive an unrestricted prize of $10,000. Special
Prize recipients are honorary. Winning applicants are selected by the
Cleveland Arts Prize Jury, composed of artists, community leaders, and past

considered.

Discipline applicants are reviewed through a two tier process. Each
discipline's respective jury members put forth up to three candidates to be
reviewed by what is called The Academy Jury. This is the second and final
round of review of the finalists from each discipline. 

The Special Prize Jury members review all nominees and determine the winners
for each of the Special Prizes.
