Art is Here Partnership (AHP) serves as an action and advocacy group of the Cleveland/Bradley Allied Arts Council, supporting all the arts in the community. AHP supports all the arts through advocacy, fundraising and community arts programming. Art is Here Partnership is focused on raising awareness and funds for the building a permanent arts center, along with building a membership for artists and arts organizations, nonprofits, business, and individuals to support the arts. The vision is to serve as an unifying organization for local artists and arts organizations offering high quality arts programs to all populations.
Mission statement: Believing that the arts, whether visual, musical, theatrical, industrial or entrepreneurial, give heart and breath to the life of our community, we celebrate the opportunities for artistic excellence and strive to provide paths for arts infusion into the lives of our citizens.
“What began a few short years ago as a gathering to discuss the development of an artist registry turned into a passionate quest toward a dedicated arts center for Cleveland and Bradley County,” said Connie Gatlin, AHP president. “These are only the beginnings of exciting new programming we hope will enrich the lives of our citizens and further the enjoyment and appreciation of art in all its forms,” Gatlin said. Donations are made by simply writing a check to the Foundation designated to the Fund or online.
