Mini-Doc on Cuyahoga Arts and Culture Airs Nov. 18

Did you know that through its cigarette tax, Cuyahoga County has become (after the states of New York and Minnesota) the third-largest public funder of the arts in the nation?

Artistic Choice: Preserving a Legacy in Cleveland, a 16-minute mini-documentary, airs nationally on PBS tonight, Nov. 18, immediately following Women Who Rock at 9:00 – 10:30 p.m.

The main title of the mini-doc features a charcoal drawing triptych by Laurence Channing, who recently received an arts fellowship funded by the cigarette tax.
