ColumbusArts Card

As part of ongoing efforts to support the city’s Attract and Retain Young Talent initiative, GCAC created a new program called the ColumbusArts Card to connect younger and more diverse audiences to the arts in central Ohio. This discount program, currently offered to non-students under 40, enhances the access to arts and cultural activities throughout Columbus. We plan to expand the program, which debuted in November, to students of all ages and non-students 40 and over in 2008.

To date, more than 30 arts organizations have partnered with GCAC and the Columbus Arts Marketing Association to offer more than $1,500 in discounts to the nearly 100 ColumbusArts Card members. For more on the ColumbusArts Card, visit ColumbusArts.com.
