Help build what comes after the table.

Beyond The Table is a pilot. It is proof that when artists are paid, trained and given ownership, the work gets stronger and so does the city. The next phase is about growth: more artists, more paid roles, and outcomes Cleveland can measure. We can’t do it alone.

Why your support matters

Traditional arts funding pays for a project and then walks away. Your support builds a system that keeps going.

It keeps ownership local.

Rights and revenue stay with Cleveland artists, so success creates future income, not just a credit line.

It trains the next generation.

Students and emerging professionals learn on a real film, a real album and a real exhibition.

It pays artists fairly.

Musicians, editors, engineers, curators and designers are paid for their time and their skill.
