Community Impact
Making a difference. On purpose.
The Cleveland Institute of Art has been making a difference in the community for more than 140 years. CIA shapes culture. It grows the economy. It serves as an intellectual hub. It makes Northeast Ohio a more vibrant and inclusive place to live. Simply put, CIA is a unique asset to Cleveland.
To contextualize just how big a difference our college of art and design makes, we publish the Community Impact Report. This annual report details CIA's community make-up, illustrates the college's contributions to the creative economy, and shares how students and faculty work with community partners to make a difference.
We invite you to read—and share with others—the most recent edition of the Community Impact Report.
