A new national study found Cleveland led a cohort of 10 major U.S. cities in arts revenue growth between 2019 and 2024, while also ranking No. 1 in local public arts funding per capita. The findings highlight how consistent public investment helps fuel stronger financial outcomes for cultural organizations and drives broader economic impact.

If you’re spending time downtown, make sure to stop by the Art Wall in Public Square to see Go Wild by Jennifer M. Price.

Inspired by Northeast Ohio’s native plants, insects, and wildlife, the installation celebrates the beauty that’s all around us.
