 | | Cleveland-based financial services company KeyCorp has awarded a $1 million grant to the Playhouse Square Foundation and ideastream, a multimedia public service organization formed by the 2001 merger of WVIZ/PBS and 90.3 WCPN/NPR, to help fund the Idea Center at Playhouse Square, a single facility housing performing arts, radio, television, interactive broadband, and related technology. |
 | | The grant is the first major funding received by the Playhouse Square Foundation and ideastream since the organizations announced a joint venture to redevelop the One Playhouse Square Building in downtown Cleveland into ideastream's headquarters and a shared educational center. |
 | | When completed, the project will provide a fully equipped digital environment for educators, artists, producers, and media professionals, and will be a national model for educational outreach and interactive participation by both groups and individuals. |
