The arts keep our communities thriving, inspire us and keep culture alive. We have a deep appreciation for our local arts and especially the funding we receive through the Greater Columbus Arts Council. Local artists and organizations need your support more than ever through attendance and sponsorship!
Please consider partnering with us! https://www.xclaimarts.org/online-giving.html

Due to constraints in our public funding, GCAC is closing the Funds for Artists and Artist Projects grant programs for 2025. In addition to these grant program closures, we have made significant operational expense reductions. We will continue to evaluate and update our budgets and grant guidelines as needed throughout the remainder of the year.

A great big THANK YOU to the Greater Columbus Arts Council, our Columbus City Council, Franklin County Commissioners, and Mayor Andrew Ginther for supporting the ARTS, helping us thrive as an organization and make a positive impact in this great arts loving city! We are deeply appreciative for the support and celebrate a great season of meaningful dance-making! Congratulations dancers, choreographers, designers, technicians, administrators & volunteers!
