The Governor's Awards for the Arts in Ohio is a state-wide program that showcases and celebrates Ohio artists, arts organizations, arts patrons and business support of the arts. Winners are selected in six categories - Arts Administration, Arts in Education, Arts Patron, Business Support of the Arts, Community Development and Participation, and Individual Artist. A selection committee made up of members of the Ohio Arts Council board chooses the winners. The program is presented by the Ohio Arts Council and the Ohio Citizens for the Arts Foundation. Award winners are presented with an original work of art by an Ohio artist at the public ceremony.
