Partners

Several arts organizations in Columbus have expanded and extended the Individual Artists Fellowship program by collaborating with GCAC to develop and administer fellowship competitions in their areas of expertise or by providing support to fellowship programs in specific areas. We offer deep appreciation to all these partners for their shared commitment to the artists of our community. Each partnership offers unique and welcome opportunities for Franklin County artists and contributes enormously to the cultural vitality of our community. Please visit these organizations' web sites for updates and additional information on their activities.

Annie's Fund for the Creative Arts
Annie's Fund (which carries on the energy and good work of Anne P. Miller, M.D., a nationally recognized surgeon, arts patron, and artist) generously enables the IAF program to support one additional visual artist each time fellowships are awarded in that area.
