Cleveland Artists Foundation

The Cleveland Artists Foundation (CAF) was established in 1984 by Cleveland-based artists, patrons, and collectors who recognized the need to establish an organization that would preserve, research, collect, and exhibit the most significant visual art of the Northeast Ohio region. CAF has become the premier center for the art of Northeast Ohio owing both to its significant collecting initiative, and to its dedication to creative exhibition planning and educational outreach. Central to CAF's dedication to embracing the array of artistic excellence in this region is its priority of conceiving stimulating exhibitions, educational programming, and scholarly publications.
