Thank you for DREAMING with us!

Thank you for supporting this year’s Ingenuity Bal! Whether you joined us in person, supported from afar, volunteered, sponsored, performed, or simply continue to champion Ingenuity’s mission, we are incredibly grateful to have you as part of our creative community.

This year’s Bal was a vibrant celebration of art, innovation, performance, and connection — bringing together artists, makers, musicians, dreamers, and supporters from across Cleveland. Events like this are only possible because of people like you who believe in the power of creativity to transform our city and strengthen our community.

A special thank you to Cuyahoga Community College for sponsoring our stage and helping bring the evening’s performances and programming to life. We would also like to recognize and thank our generous sponsors, D.A. Surgical, The Chas. E. Phipps Company, and Deloitte, for their continued support of Ingenuity and Cleveland’s creative community.

We also want to extend our heartfelt appreciation to the incredible performers and artists who helped make the evening unforgettable, including Megan Sullivan, Post Saga, MESSMAKER, Lounge Kitty, Aaron Terkel, the Tesla Orchestra, and special thanks to Cleveland Black Faeries for keeping the champagne flowing throughout the evening.

Guests had the opportunity to explore immersive performances, interactive activation stations, and hands-on creative experiences that truly embodied the spirit of Ingenuity. We are excited to continue building even more opportunities for connection, creativity, and collaboration throughout the year.

Most of all, we hope you continue to stay connected with us and the incredible creative energy happening across our community. Be sure to mark your calendars for IngenuityFest, returning September 25–27, where we’ll once again transform Cleveland with art, music, technology, and innovation. We can’t wait to celebrate with you again soon!

Ingenuity Cleveland ignites the creative spark of creativity among artists, entrepreneurs, and innovators of all types through joy and collaboration, in service to social progress. With our year-round programming, including the annual IngenuityFest, we inspire audiences, push boundaries, and generate economic impact, all while changing attitudes about our region!
