Creative Compass
In 2007, Arts Cleveland (previously the Community Partnership for Arts and Culture) launched an initiative to increase artists’ access to home and business space ownership. It began with the understanding that artists could improve their chances at economic success by building equity. Recognizing that there are a number of critical factors contributing to artists’ success, and a need for many similar connections to be made, we developed Creative Compass. This website is a tool for artists to share information, find artist opportunities and build connections with each other and with the broader community.
What you’ll find in each section
- A guide with information to get you started or refresh your skills
- A list of organizations (or resources) that can offer you help
