On this episode of Applause we continue our look at the 2009 Cleveland Arts Prize winners - we meet one of the Elder Statesmen of the Arts, Mort Epstein.

Plus we’ll look at the works of an Arts Prize emerging artist who’s receiving national acclaim.

And we look at the impact that these tough economic times are having on some of the leading art institutions in the state.
