Course Description

Join us for an engaging series of panel discussions featuring leaders from Cleveland’s most treasured performing arts organizations. Moderated by John Grabowski, each session will explore the founding purpose of these organizations, their impact on the community, and how their missions and programming have evolved to meet the interests of today’s audiences. Discussions will also examine how funding strategies have shifted in response to political and economic changes, and what challenges and opportunities lie ahead.
