The Governor's Award for the Arts winners are chosen for outstanding contributions to the arts statewide, regionally and nationally.

Ohio is a state with a wealth of individual artists, individuals and institutions that are supportive of the arts and for that reason this process is highly competitive. For general information about the Governor's Awards for the Arts in Ohio, please see the Fact Sheet and visit our list of Frequently Asked Questions.

The Governor's Awards for the Arts in Ohio and Arts Day Luncheon is held in conjunction with Arts Day. For more information about Arts Day and Ohio Citizens for the Arts Foundation, visit the Ohio Citizens for The Arts Web site.
