243 arts organizations receive ARPA funding

Governor Mike DeWine, Lt. Governor Jon Husted, and Ohio Department of Development Director Lydia Mihalik have revealed the second batch of recipients for the Ohio Arts Economic Relief Grant Program. This program is funded by $50 million from the Federal American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA), which Ohio lawmakers authorized. For two years, CreativeOhio advocated for this business relief to aid creative organizations that were greatly impacted by the pandemic’s business disruptions.

According to a press release from the state, 104 arts organizations have been granted over $20 million in the second funding round. In total, 243 arts organizations will receive $43 million.

Thanks to the unwavering support of our members, this work is possible.
