Cuyahoga Arts & Culture (CAC) announced Wednesday $11.6 million will be distributed to area arts organizations next year.

There are 249 recipients sharing the revenue from Cuyahoga County鈥檚 cigarette tax. Some of the grantees, which includes 海角破解版, will use their funding for general operating support. Others are getting special projects funded. Cuyahoga Arts & Culture Executive Director Jill Paulsen says 11 local groups are getting funds from a new grant program called Cultural Heritage.

鈥淚t's our new approach to trying to support historically marginalized organizations to get them the flexible dollars they need to serve the public,鈥� Paulsen said.

That includes the Greater Cleveland Urban Film Festival, the Slovenian Museum and Archives, and the Duffy Liturgical Dance Studio.

As cigarette-tax revenues continue to decline, Paulsen said local arts leaders are looking to work with state, county and new city leadership to develop additional funding streams. This past year saw the creation of the Cleveland-based advocacy organization Assembly for the Arts that鈥檚 looking to make the case to governmental leaders that the arts are more than just an entertaining diversion for many people.

鈥�We're trying to spread the message that this is about creative jobs, jobs that pay wages, that pay taxes and that make sure that people have food on their table,鈥� Paulsen said. 鈥淪o, we're trying and we're working together with Assembly, and a whole coalition of folks statewide, too.
