ABOUT THE OAC ARTS ACCESS PROGRAM

Why the OAC Supports the Arts Access Program

The arts play an important role in the lives of every Ohio citizen. All
communities benefit from participating, experiencing, sharing and
learning through the arts. The Ohio Arts Council has consistently taken
a leadership role in developing creative ways to make the arts available
throughout the state. The OAC pioneered general operating support for
arts organizations beginning in 1978.

Funding from this program supports organizations that provide essential
arts programming to their community and are integral to its cultural
legacy. Through our direct financial support of ongoing programming by
arts, non-arts and cultural organizations, the OAC sustains the vitality
of Ohio economically, educationally and culturally.

The Arts Access program allows organizations to plan and conduct ongoing
arts programs—either a full year of activities or recurring projects—in
both traditional spaces (galleries, concert halls, theaters, museums)
and nontraditional venues (hospitals, shopping malls, retirement
centers, places of worship).

The Ohio Arts Council (OAC) seeks to make a positive difference in the
lives of individuals and in communities through the arts. The degree to
which we fulfill that goal will be the ultimate measure of our success.
We create value for the citizens of Ohio in partnership with the arts,
education and cultural communities. Together we sustain Ohio's artistic
and cultural assets, protect and preserve cultural traditions, build the
economy and cultivate the imaginations of learners throughout their lives.

Thank you for supporting the arts!
