Community Arts Partnership Awards
2011 Community Arts Partnership Nominees
The Greater Columbus Arts Council’s Community Arts Partnership Award program, now in its 28th year, recognizes the community’s crucial contributions to the arts including financial support, non-cash contributions, volunteer involvement and board participation. Strong partnerships between businesses, community members and the arts stimulate economic growth, promote the city’s revitalization, encourage tourism and enhance Columbus’ cultural image and give life to the city.
The event will honor winners in six categories at a luncheon from noon to 1:30 p.m. on Thursday, October 20 at COSI Columbus, 333 W. Broad St. Click here to learn more about the categories.
