Friends of Cleveland School of the Arts
was established in 1982 to provide and fund arts education opportunities at CSA.

The Friends organization has raised over $17 million dollars to support innovative artistic and academic programming for our students. Funds raised have provided program enhancements, and support for exhibits, productions, international tours, and other student events. The Friends of CSA also recently completed a matching 1.5 million dollar endowment campaign through the “Talented Students in the Arts Initiative” of the Doris Duke Charitable Foundation and the Surdna Foundation, one of only five schools nationwide to receive that honor.

Today, Friends of CSA works in strategic partnership with many generous local, regional and national contributing funders to raise awareness, advocacy and funding in order to create a Premier Arts School on the John Hay Campus.
