Through our Arts & Minds initiative, we create arts programming for people with neurological disorders within the Northeast Ohio community, including customized classes and inspiring performances. Launched in collaboration with Cleveland Clinic, Playhouse Square’s first Arts & Minds program, Dance for Parkinson’s, engages people with Parkinson’s and their care partners in meaningful arts experiences.
