Now Available: 2010-2011 Ohio Arts Council Biennial Report
by Amy McKay

Every biennium, the Ohio Arts Council publishes a report of grants awarded in the previous two fiscal years. The 2010-2011 Ohio Arts Council Biennial Report is now available online. This report offers a detailed breakdown of biennium highlights and lists the grant awards given to Ohio artists, arts and cultural organizations and schools in fiscal years 2010-2011.

The Ohio Arts Council celebrated its 45th anniversary in 2010 amidst serious challenges, including significant reductions in both budget and staff levels. Despite these reductions, the agency still awarded more than $10 million in grants to artists, arts organizations and schools, and provided support for more than 35 million arts experiences for Ohioans. The agency also completed its most in-depth strategic planning effort ever, and last year released A New View: A Strategic Plan to Strengthen Ohio Through the Arts 2011-2013, which represents the agency's bold view of how the arts can be a major partner in restoring the prosperity of the state.
