Community Funding
The mission of the GCAC/City of Columbus Grants Program is to maximize funding for Columbus arts organizations and artists through the responsible administration of a grants program, to increase funds available for that program, and to provide technical assistance aimed at increasing the level of artistic and management skills among the GCAC constituency.
Operating Support Grants
