Spaces

See schedule ospaces commissions artists from around the world (at all stages of their careers) to make new work that is responsive to timely issues. Through our residency & exhibition program, we provide compensation, support, and access to resources for cultural producers who immerse themselves in cleveland for up to eight weeks. Through our regranting programs, residencies, and public programs, we give artists the kind of support rarely seen outside major institutions, leading to ambitious new projects that reach an international stage and expand artists' practices. In 2002, Spaces established our international artist residency model. Resulting programming is presented quarterly, with resident projects exhibited inc conjuction with other artist projects. Our regrantinf programs include the satellite fund, administered by Spaces as a part of the support for artists for cuyahoga county artists, in partnership with cuyahoga arts & culture. These grants may go toward production expenses and artist commission for the creation of "urgent art" that is socially, politically, or culturally responsive. By designating funds specifically for such projects taking place in public realm, we can help artists immediately engage their community in creative dialogue about the most pressing issues. By infusing our cultural economy with exhibitions with audience-forward programming contextualized by on-site, off-site, and digital exhibitions and artist projects. By providing accessible ways of learning about art, artists, and creative production we help forge connections and understanding of the cultural value of art.
