Cuyahoga Arts & Culture – Bringing Arts and Culture to Life Cuyahoga Arts & Culture (CAC) supports and invests in hundreds of arts and cultural organizations that are helping to ensure that all residents of Cuyahoga County have access to arts and culture close to home. This past year, CAC-funded organizations offered programs and activities in more than 2,500 unique locations throughout Cuyahoga County – including schools, libraries, senior centers, theaters, parks, hospitals and neighborhood streets. Beachwood has greatly benefitted from CAC support. Here's the breakdown: $5,367 Beachwood Historical Society $18,009 Jewish Family Service Association $32,681 Jewish Federation of Cleveland $1,252,299 Maltz Museum of Jewish Heritage $215,566 Mandel Jewish Community Center of Cleveland $699,474 Cleveland POPS Orchestra In total, these organizations have received more than $2 million since 2008 for programming in and around Beachwood. There is an issue on the November 3rd ballot to preserve this critical resource to support arts and culture organizations in Beachwood and throughout Cuyahoga County. That ballot issue calls for the renewal of an existing cigarette tax in the county to support a wide array of very high quality arts and cultural choices that the residents are able to enjoy. That ballot issue is not a tax increase. The ballot issue has received endorsements from nearly 200 elected officials, public bodies and organizations, including all members of Beachwood City Council, Mayor Merle S. Gorden, County Executive Armond Budish and County Council member Sunny Simon. Please be aware of this issue and all CAC does to enrich the arts in Cuyahoga County.
