Whether it’s in the blooms of springtime, the heat of summer, the chill of winter, or the colors of fall, Cuyahoga Arts & Culture (CAC) supports the arts year-round. CAC is one of the largest local public funders for arts and culture in the nation, helping hundreds of organizations in Cuyahoga County connect millions of people to cultural experiences each year.

And with the colors of fall illuminating the landscape, what better time to get out and experience just some of the CAC-funded organizations?

“Fall is a beautiful time to get out and explore nature in Cuyahoga County, says CAC executive director Jill Paulsen. “We are proud to support these organizations who have made it a priority to provide safe, physically distanced spaces for all residents and visitors to enjoy.”

FreshWater managing photographer Bob Perkoski recently traveled around Cuyahoga County—capturing the beauty of the season within the region’s rich arts community.
