About this Event

The World Is Yours: Art & Advocacy for Black Maternal Health

For Art's Sake, the City of Cleveland and Cleveland City Council proudly announce the unveiling of The World is Yours Basketball Court, launching Black Maternal Health Week at Otter Park.

The World is Yours is curated by artist extrodinare Glen Infante – alongside Stina Aleah, Chad Fedorovich, & Jordan Morales. The court’s design serves as a powerful visual statement, blending art and activism to honor the role of Black mothers while inspiring the next generation. Through this installation, attendees will engage in themes of legacy, perseverance, and identity, while celebrating the impact of maternal strength within the community.

Curated by For Art’s Sake, led by branding and design visionary Kumar Arora, a Transformative Arts Fund Awardee, this vibrant court is more than a place to play—it’s a tribute to Black mothers, their strength, resilience, and the future they nurture. This initiative transforms public space into a lasting symbol of empowerment, community, and opportunity.

A Transformative Initiative: For Art’s Sake

For Art’s Sake is one of seven Transformative Arts Fund Projects announced in August 2024. This groundbreaking initiative empowers Cleveland artists to thrive in the creative economy through public activations across the city. By bridging gaps in artistic development, the project provides participants with opportunities and equips them with critical skills in branding, entrepreneurship, and community engagement. For Art’s Sake amplifies local talent while fostering a deeper connection between art and public life.
