Jeremy Johnson is the CEO of Assembly for the Arts. It is a group that advocates and unifies the voices of creatives throughout greater Cleveland.
Johnson and Assembly for the Arts has worked, since the news of ARPA allocation hit, to make sure that local leaders know the arts community needed help. Robert Hubbard Jr. can attest to the pandemic devastating his business. He’s the founder of Hubb’s Groove. He employs dozens of local musicians that put on live music shows throughout Northeast Ohio.
He said he is slowly coming back from the pandemic, putting on shows and assembling different musicians again, but said there’s a lot of people who just don’t want to come back.
