Community Arts programs:columbus local organizing committeeduring fiscal year 2022, gcac made a $250,000 sponsorship to support the hiring of artists and creative vendors in the production of a national conference promoting convention business and hotel booking in columbus.junior achievementthe program is the world's largest organization dedicated to educating students about workforce readiness, entrepreneurship, and financial literacy through experienced, hands on programs. Junior achievement programs help prepare young people for the real world by showing them how to generate wealth and effectively manage it, how to create jobs which make their communities more robust, and how to apply entrepreneurial thinking to the workforce. Students put these lessons into action and learn the value of contributing to their communities. Art unites columbus/deliver black dreamson june 1, 2020, after the death of george floyd at the hands of the minneapolis police and the resulting protests, capa and gcac partnered to launch #artunitescbus, an initiative to employ columbus-based visual artists to paint murals on the plywood installed over the broken windows at the Ohio theatre and the gcac office. Other businesses throughout the city joined in and by the end of june more than 200 murals had been created on plywood throughout the city. The murals messages ranged from support for black lives matter to tributes to george floyd and breonna taylor, to messages of love and hope. The public quickly advocated for preserving the murals and giving them a life after they were removed from store front windows. Gcac committed to preserving and exhibiting the murals and encouraging dialogue about the black lives matter movement as our city, and our country, work toward racial equity. In 2022, the art/activism/action books was published to document the murals created and serve as a time capsule of these events.other programs:capital fundinggcac uses funds it receives from the city of Columbus nationwide area admissions tax to provide funding for infrastructure investment in cultural Arts facilities, sports facilities, public art and performance venues, other than nationwide arena, within the city of Columbus.
