Cleveland ARTS Education Consortium

The arts transform our lives. The arts help us discover who we are, where we have been, and where we hope to go. Evidence gathered nationally and locally indicates that the arts are essential in learning, critical in teaching and necessary in building vibrant communities.

The Cleveland Arts Education Consortium’s (CAEC) mission is to work at as partnership to promote and strengthen art education in Northeast Ohio and advocate on behalf of arts learning for people of all ages and circumstances.

In-residence at Cleveland State University in the Center for Arts and Innovation in the Music Department of the College of Liberal Arts and Social Sciences, CAEC convenes members and affiliates on the CSU campus and in the community to address critical issues in arts education, presents collaborative community events, and undertakes projects and research studies to promote the value of the arts.
