Columbus, OH – The Greater Columbus Arts Council (Arts Council) offers financial support to the city’s artists and arts organizations. Each year the Arts Council seeks constituent feedback on Guidelines and applications and works to align funding programs alignment with community goals. The 2015 Guidelines offer changes for a few programs.
What’s New!
Operating Support
Operating support organizations with budgets under $5 million are now eligible for project support for new activities or collaborations.
Artist Eligibility
New for this year, artist eligibility has been expanded to include artists who work in the City of Columbus.
Choral Composition Program
The Arts Council is launching a new Choral Composition fellowship program in partnership with the Columbus Gay Men’s Chorus (CGMC). The recipient of this fellowship award will receive $5,000 and have their selected choral piece performed by CGMC.
