the project
Formed in 2018, fp Creative is a musician-led organization that supports other musicians through performance and curatorial opportunities. The resulting concert series, fresh perspectives, presents original, audience-centric events featuring classical, experimental, and new music.
For our second season, the goal is to establish and grow our creative community and become more financially sound. Our new programs for artists will grow our creative community, and our ability to produce high-quality events will bolster our visibility in Cleveland's growing Arts & Culture landscape.
New programs for artists:
Emerging Artists-in-Residence: a year-long residency for bold, motivated classical musicians in Northeast Ohio. The residency offers highly personalized professional development and performance opportunities. We are thrilled to have Catharsis Winds as our inaugural Emerging Artists!
Guest Curator/Producer Program: This program is designed to empower local artists by offering the role of Artistic Director. We will support these guests by funding, co-organizing, marketing, and producing their unique projects.
Visiting Artist Series: This series will be a platform for visiting artists to engage with Cleveland audiences.
About fresh perspectives events:
As artists, we want you, our audiences, to leave satisfied with your entire experience. To do that, our events blur the lines of high art and low pressure. With this approach, we have opened doors to new audiences, inspiring a new generation of classical, experimental, and new music.
A donation of any size will impact these programs and grow our capacity to reach new communities.
As a grassroots organization of ambitious artists, we represent a wide range of voices, ideas, and backgrounds. Your contribution will fund the projects of diverse artists, uplifting the Arts & Culture scene in Cleveland.

why we're doing it
There is a palpable desire to discover and broaden alternative performance opportunities and experiences in Cleveland.
There is a need for this type of organization in Cleveland that offers resources to musicians to experiment and collaborate to engage audiences in new ways.
