The Cuyahoga Valley Art Center believes that the full expression of creativity is a key element in the development of successful and productive individuals who make meaningful contributions to the quality of life and sustainability of our community. ‘Art Starts Here’ at CVAC for students of all ages. CVAC believes that at any age art can lead to a meaningful career.
Research from the Akron Cultural Plan revealed that 41% of those surveyed had a cost barrier to their family’s ability to access arts and cultural activities. Recognizing that this is not an issue unique to only Akron, CVAC is looking to offer access to quality visual arts programming via class scholarships. CVAC plans to gear 75% of its scholarships towards applicants within low to moderate-income households, to close the cost barriers separating these individuals from quality visual arts programming.
SCHOLARSHIP GUIDELINES:
1. Fair and equal consideration will be given to all applicants regardless of race, ethnicity, gender, or creed.
2. Each applicant may only be awarded no more than one scholarship per quarter.
3. It will be at the discretion of the Cuyahoga Valley Art Center to determine whether a candidate will be awarded a scholarship to take a class at the Art Center.
4. 75% of scholarships will go towards applicants within low to moderate-income households.
