Who We Are - Donors
Honor Roll of Donors - Contributions received between 7/1/2006 and 6/31/2007
We use the power of the arts to transform the lives and education of young people

For over 50 years our professional musicians, actors, dancers, writers and visual artists have thrilled and enlightened students in schools throughout Northeast Ohio.  Last year Young Audiences provided over 6,600 programs to more than 262,000 children in 18 counties.

We can’t do it alone

Just as we cannot begin our work without incredible artists and enthusiastic educators, our donors help make Young Audiences programs a reality. We recognize and thank the 2006 - 2007 contributors who helped Young Audiences provide unparalleled opportunities for learning through the arts.

We are proud and thankful for public support from the Ohio Arts Council and the citizens of Cuyahoga County through their support of Cuyahoga Arts and Culture.
