LEGAL ISSUES
The insert in this issue is provided as a service to ArtsOhio readers by Cleveland attorney William Joseph, former member of the Ohio Arts Council Board.

We're Building Ohio Through the Arts
The Ohio Arts Council, a state agency established in 1965, builds the state through the arts - economically, educationally and culturally - preserving the past, enhancing the present and enriching the future for all Ohioans. The Council believes the arts should be shared by the people of Ohio. The arts arise from public, individual and organizational efforts. The OAC supports and encourages those efforts.
