GCAC Expands Arts Partnership Awards ProgramAfter 25 years of supporting the efforts of local businesses in connecting with the local arts community, the Greater Columbus Arts Council has expanded its Business Arts Partnership awards program, adding three new awards and changing the name to the Community Arts Partnership awards. The new name and awards reflect GCAC's goal to honor the crucial work that both businesses and individual community members do to sustain the arts in Columbus. Awards will be given in the following categories: Small Business, Medium Business, Large Business, Arts Partner, Emerging Arts Leader and Arts Educator. | |
The Art of PartnershipLocal arts organizations are collaborating in creative ways to reach new audiences as they honor Columbus' artistic treasures and present exciting, multidisciplinary exhibitions and events. Artistic collaboration opens doors to venture beyond the usual safe zones, explore new environments and works to extend an organization's scope through education and experimentation. Additionally, pooling resources, a must during more trying economic times, helps groups stay afloat and builds stronger connections within the arts community. |
