Graffiti HeArt's 6th Annual Graffiti & Grapes Scholarship Fundraiser! More than $83,000 in art scholarships have been funded since 2015 from the generosity of artists and funders through this badass charity event! That computes to 42 teens who have had the opportunity to attend the Pre-College Program at the Cleveland Institute of Art, allowing them to fulfill their dreams of becoming skilled and accomplished artists! This year's Graffiti & Grapes Scholarship Fundraiser will be the first time held in person at the Graffiti HeArt Gallery & Museum! Come out to witness live graffiti & street art, silent auction, live music, beverages and more! Graffiti HeArt is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization with focus on promoting graffiti art and artists, curating and managing approved commissioned projects (private and public) that beautify communities, while also raising funding towards art scholarships for the underserved youth through the Cleveland Institute of Art's Pre-College Program. Since 2015, with the support of our generous sponsors, artists, donors, and volunteers, Graffiti HeArt has sent more than 35 underserved youth through the Pre-College Program at the Cleveland Institute of Art, raising more than $80,000 in scholarship funding for young inspiring artists, while also coloring our communities through projects such as the the Beau Stanton "Guardian" and RISK murals in St.Clair Superior District, as well as the the Underground Railroad mural in Bedford, Ohio, the Greeting From Cleveland mural in Ohio City, the "More Heart than Art" mural in Gordon Square Arts District, the "Color Block" wall in Tyler Village, the Puerto Rico "Mujeres Fuertes" mural, BLM street mural, Euclid Green mural, Welcome to Parma and Welcome to Tremont murals, as well as several others.  In addition, Graffiti HeArt is responsible for indoor mural installations including those found in the Cleveland Public High Schools, Airgas, Dealer Tire, Avalution Consulting, Bridgeview, and last but not least, CLE Urban Winery's mural and signage, our very special community partner! Promoting artists through positive ways to revitalize and beautify spaces in your community.  In 2019, Graffiti HeArt opened up its new home and graffiti gallery at E. 49th and Superior Avenue in Cleveland, Ohio.  This new space is used to further advance the recognition of aerosol artists in the graffiti and mural art form, holding workshops, demonstrations, gallery shows, and events!
