Ohio Arts Council Holds Workshops for Individual Artists
by Kathy Burgan

In May the Ohio Arts Council’s Office of Individual Creativity will visit five cities throughout Ohio to discuss the OAC’s new digital image submission process for individual artists. Beginning with the September 1, 2006 deadline, the OAC will accept only digital images for the Excellence Awards program. Slides will no longer be accepted. This year's Excellence Award application will be available online May 1. The workshops will demonstrate how to upload digital images to the OAC’s Online Grant Applications system (OLGA).
