To celebrate 20 years of our ArtWorks program, we are launching a special merch collection honoring the impact and legacy of our youth arts apprenticeship program and supporting its future.

ArtWorks is a paid arts apprenticeship for Northeast Ohio high school students in grades 10?12 that combines hands-on creative practice with workforce development. For two decades, the program has helped young people across Northeast Ohio build artistic skills, professional experience, and confidence through mentorship with local teaching artists and real-world creative projects that serve the community.

Every purchase directly supports ArtWorks, helping fund apprentice stipends, mentorship from local teaching artists, professional development opportunities, and the creative materials needed to make these experiences possible for youth.

This collection is more than merch, it is a way to celebrate and invest in 20 years of youth creativity, opportunity, and impact through the arts, while helping ensure the next generation of young artists continues to have access to these life-shaping experiences.

The 20th anniversary logo was created by Otis Houtz, an ArtWorks apprentice!
