Yesterday, I had the pleasure of attending the PNC Foundation’s PNC Arts Alive event. Thirteen area arts groups with innovative ideas for reaching new audiences were awarded grants of a combined total of $500,000. I am very happy to say that the Columbus Museum of Art was a recipient, which means that next summer, we will once again be able to present our Summer Fun initiative that provides free admission to the Museum throughout the months of July and August.

I would also like to congratulate the other recipients including: The Arts Castle of Delaware, CAPA, Carpe Diem String Quartet, CATCO-Phoenix, Columbus Gay Men’s Chorus, the King Arts Complex, the Lancaster Festival, Mad River Theater Works, the Midland Theatre, Shadowbox, the Westerville Symphony, and Zanesville Museum of Art.

And kudos to PNC for a wonderful event and for investing in our cultural community.
