Welcome
Bette Millat
Welcome to the website of the Grove City Arts Council, a non-profit organization dedicated to the growth of awareness and appreciation of fine art in its community, comprehensive support of its local artists, and education of its young artists. Founded in 1984, the council has grown steadily over the years, not only in the number of its members, but also in its yearly special events, events designed to focus attention on Grove City as a vital component of the vibrant Regional Arts District of Central Ohio, to showcase the works of art of its talented members, and to raise funds for its arts scholarship awarded yearly to one or more deserving graduating seniors of the SouthWestern City School District.
We invite you to take a look at the following pages, pages explaining our organization and special events in detail. Included, as well, is our online gallery of the characteristic artwork of some of our members, works of art featuring landscape, waterscape, still life, portrait, figure, animal, nature, collage, and abstract pieces in a wide range of drawing and painting media, as well as photography. If joining our organization is your goal, click onto the Contact or About us page.

WINNERS
Each year, GCAC awards a scholarship to deserving seniors from Southwestern City
Schools who will be pursuing an art career.
