CIMAM welcomes Ruth Arts as new Major Patron
The Ruth Foundation for the Arts (Ruth Arts) has joined CIMAM as a Major Patron as of June 2025.
The Ruth Foundation for the Arts (Ruth Arts) is dedicated to meeting the evolving needs and lived experiences of artists, communities, and arts organizations whose work is anchored by the visual and the performing arts. National in scope, Ruth Arts honors our benefactor Ruth DeYoung Kohler II (1941–2020) with inventive approaches to philanthropy that are rooted in creativity, experimentation, and access.
Ruth Arts currently supports a dynamic cultural landscape primarily through our flagship grant program: Artist Choice. Entirely selected by artists, Artist Choice supports arts organizations across the country with unrestricted grants. Additional grant programs are built around artists and the subsequent themes presented by the Artist Choice nominations each year.
