“GCAC funding has provided MadLab the opportunity to take risks to develop long-running and successful programs such as Theatre Roulette and the Young Writers Short Play Festival, the only festival in Central Ohio dedicated to local high school playwrights. GCAC has always been not just a champion of small and large arts organizations, but THE champion.”Andy Batt, Managing Director
“The award has been critical to me as an artist. The funding allows the art to happen; for ‘Kings, Queens, & In-Betweens,’ the GCAC grant means that I am able to fully focus on the work and that I’m able to hire the other needed artists to help do it in Columbus. Additionally, to have the support of GCAC meaningfully behind me is important as an artist, giving this project a stamp of support.”

Sherri Geldin, Director
This past year has been exciting for the Greater Columbus Arts Council (Arts
Council). Increased funding from the city has helped the Arts Council
continue to lead the way for sustainable art and culture in Central Ohio.
Through advocacy, funding, expertise and collaboration we strategically
allocate public funds to the arts; help artists, educators and arts organizations
to thrive; and find ways to connect the arts and artists to the community.
2013 accomplishments included:
• $700,000 increased funding from the city’s reformulation of the hotel/
motel bed tax. The Arts Council understands how important public
support is to the vitality of our arts community. In 2014, we plan to
continue to explore additional funding opportunities so that we can build
an even more vibrant creative community in Columbus.
• A 24.5 percent increase in community funding to artists and arts
organizations and five new grant programs.
• The 2013 Columbus Arts Festival was the most successful in the Arts
Council’s history with nearly 450,000 people in attendance and more
than $200,000 raised for arts programming in Central Ohio.
• In collaboration with the Columbus Cultural Leadership Consortium, the
Arts Council embarked on a marketing and branding campaign for the
arts sector that will focus on building awareness and engagement from
patrons, donors and corporate and community partners in 2014.
• First ever evaluation of multi-year data from the Ohio Cultural Data
Project revealing that on top of consistent efficiencies in administration,
23 of the Arts Council’s Operating Support organizations realized an
18.7 percent increase in attendance and an 18 percent increase in earned
revenue between 2009-2012.
The Greater Columbus Arts Council could not provide successful leadership
and support to artists and arts and cultural organizations in Columbus without
the support of Mayor Michael B. Coleman, Columbus City Council, the Ohio
Arts Council, Experience Columbus, The Columbus Foundation, the Human
Service Chamber, and all of the businesses and individuals who recognize the
importance of arts and culture to our quality of life and our economic
prosperity. Please join us as we work together to create a vibrant Columbus.

ColumbusArts.com, a service of the Arts Council, is a free guide
to all cultural events and arts organizations in Central Ohio, and a
hub of nearly 1,000 artists in five disciplines: visual, music, dance,
theatre and literature; one of a few free multidisciplinary directories
in the country.
We further build audiences for the arts through cooperative
marketing partnerships. We partner with CD102.5 through
bi-weekly radio interviews where we share current arts events
and happenings; the Columbus Arts Marketing Association;
Columbus Underground, which hosts our bi-weekly column
featuring an inside look at the Columbus art scene; Columbus Young Professionals Club, and bi-weekly columns in their
e-newsletter which reaches a membership of more than 20,000
young professionals; and WOSU Public Media, which broadcasts
Broad & High (formerly ArtZine) to
more 4.1 million viewers annually,
an audience that has been growing
each year.

PROVIDING THE RESOURCES TO SUSTAIN AND EMPOWER ART AND ARTISTS
13
At the foundation of GCAC’s grants programs are
Operating Support, which provides critical unrestricted
support to nonprofit arts organizations that meet rigorous
artistic, administrative and financial benchmarks, and
Project Support which provides special, short-term funding
for professional cultural activities. These grant programs
help ensure that Columbus arts and cultural organizations
will continue to provide Columbus residents access to
world-class cultural experiences.
BOOST is a capacity-building program supporting the
governance, leadership, technology and professional
development needs of not-for-profit arts organizations. In
2012, the program was expanded to support organizations
with budgets up to $5 million with maximum grant awards
in the amount of $10,000. Applicants are encouraged to
make a long-term commitment to continuous improvement
and to develop skills that result in benefits not only to the
organization but to the larger arts community.

EXPERTISECouncil supports these artists through Artist Fellowships, Visual Artist International and National Residency and InternationalExchange Programs, and Professional Development Assistanceand Supply Grants.
The Arts Council’s partnership with the Columbus Bar
Association enables us to offer pro bono legal assistance for
Franklin County artists and small arts organizations through
our Arts Legal Assistance Program. In 2013, we connected six
individual artists and small arts organizations with volunteer
lawyers. Since the launch of the program, we have helped 39
individual artists and small arts organizations find pro bono legal
services.
When distributing grants to artists and arts organizations, we
have a process of annual meetings with recipients to provide
useful feedback on administrative- and project-based questions
from grantees.
Together, these resources continue to make Columbus and
Franklin County a welcoming home for artists and organizations
to create their work and bring it to the public, as well as an
attractive one for residents who seek a rich cultural life.
“For many students their experiences in theatre (at CATCO) represented the first real success they have had in an academic setting. Each year we are honored to receive messages from parents and teachers about the transformational impact of these residencies. GCAC’s funding supports these strong education programs and all our operations.”
Steven Anderson, Executive Director
“Funding from the Greater Columbus Arts Council last year helped COSI to serve nearly one million people onsite and through community outreach programs. This critical community investment in COSI’s mission helps to inspire the innovators and dreamers of tomorrow.”

To continue to fuel the dynamic arts scene
in Central Ohio, we are actively bringing
together entities from a broad cross section
of the community to share resources,
expertise and perspectives. Some of these
partnerships and opportunities include:
power2give.org: The Greater Columbus
Arts Council’s new crowdfunding platform,
developed by the Arts and Sciences Council
in Charlotte, NC. The program launched in
October with $60,000 in matching funds
and 36 projects. Seven projects have been
fully funded to date.
Columbus Health Department: The
ArtWalks program highlights public art in
13 Columbus neighborhoods. Both printed

Greater Columbus Arts Council to engage

organizations and important one-time

The Ohio Cultural Data Project: Used
in eight states nationwide. Ohio joined
in 2009 and this has enabled not just
participating organizations to track
trends and benchmark their progress
through powerful reporting tools, but it
also empowers the Greater Columbus
Arts Council and other researchers and
advocates with information to make the
case for arts and culture.
FastForward Camp with Mindset Digital:Representatives from Operating Support
grantee organizations attended a two-

“GCAC support was critical in enabling Red Herring to produce a project as complex and ambitious as Assassins so early in our development as a new company. By supporting our efforts to pay artists, GCAC helped ensure that we had our pick of talent in delivering a profound, provocative and professional production of a timely and rarely seen musical to Columbus audiences.”
John Dranschak, Executive Producer
