COLUMBUS, OH, Feb. 1, 2012 – The PNC Foundation, which receives funding from The PNC Financial Services Group, Inc. (NYSE: PNC), announced today it is accepting applications for $485,000 in grants as part of the third year of the PNC Arts Alive program. Grants of $25,000 and above will be awarded to qualified arts organizations located in the 14-county central Ohio region.
PNC Arts Alive is a $1.5 million, three-year initiative to support diverse audience participation, value-added public programming and innovative use of technology in the region. To date, $900,000 in funding has been awarded to 26 regional arts organizations, including a diverse mix of Columbus- and regionally-based organizations that cross a wide-range of arts disciplines from music to dance to theater to the visual arts.
“Central Ohio’s thriving arts community has truly embraced the mission of the PNC Arts Alive program,” said PNC Regional President Michael Gonsiorowski, speaking on behalf of the PNC Foundation. “Since we first introduced the initiative, local organizations have been using the grants to create innovative programs, draw new audiences and spark dynamic collaborations that already are enhancing the artistic landscape of this region in a meaningful way.”
Examples of Arts Alive-funded programming include The Central Ohio Symphony’s Astronomical Pictures at an Exhibition that will incorporate images synchronized to music at an exhibition by Mussorgsky/Ravel; ProMusica Chamber Orchestra’s free, three-concert summer series on the grounds of the Franklin Park Conservatory and The Columbus Children's Choir’s collaboration with the Columbus Children's Theatre, Thiossane West African Dance Institute and Thurber House to produce a showcase of West African folktales interpreted through dance, drama and song.
“PNC’s investment in ProMusica, through its Arts Alive initiative, is instrumental in helping us launch a brand new collaboration between ProMusica and Franklin Park Conservatory,” said Janet Chen, executive director, ProMusica. We are thrilled to offer our first-ever summer concert series on the beautiful grounds at Franklin Park, and PNC’s financial commitment will allow us to offer these performances free of charge, making them accessible to everyone in our community.” “The PNC Arts Alive grant has enabled the Central Ohio Symphony not only to perform a major concert but also to blend in other arts programming throughout the community, allowing us to engage diverse audiences outside of the concert hall,” said Warren W. Hyer, executive director.
