CLEVELAND, May 26, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Expanding upon its Stand for the Arts Awards initiative launched in 2017, Ovation TV, America's only arts network, continued its partnership with Charter Communications, Inc. to recognize outstanding local arts, cultural, and educational organizations and programs in five of Charter's Spectrum markets across the country in 2020. The initiative is part of the independent network's national arts advocacy platform called Stand for the Arts, and committed $50,000 in 2020 to support arts education in Spectrum communities.
On Thursday, May 27, Ovation TV and Charter will present a $10,000 Stand for the Arts Award to Baldwin Wallace Community Arts School, a Cleveland-area arts organization, to grow their mission to celebrate, explore and connect individual ability with pathways for artistic growth through classes, camps, and private lessons in instrumental and vocal music, dance, theatre, and art. The award will be presented on Thursday during a virtual event on the Baldwin Wallace Community Arts School Facebook page starting at 7PM EST. The program will feature a performance by two Suzuki violinists and a dance performance from a student in the Community Arts School dance program. Additionally, State Senator Matt Dolan will be providing congratulatory remarks as part of the program.
"We are proud to stand with Ovation to salute Baldwin Wallace Community Arts School for its innovative programming in the Cleveland area," said Gary Underwood, GVP Government Affairs, Charter. "Baldwin Wallace Community Arts School and all of this year's Stand for the Arts Awards honorees truly enrich the communities they serve across the country."
Stand for the Arts Awards are granted based on how well an organization empowers the community, builds strategic partnerships, drives engagement through volunteerism and delivers creative programming.
Sol Doten, Senior Vice President, Content Distribution Marketing, Ovation TV said, "Together with Charter, we're thrilled to provide support to community-driven art organizations like Baldwin Wallace Community Arts School, to further enable their all-ages engagement across all the arts disciplines and genres.
