Greater Port Clinton

​

The GPCAArts Council is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization founded in 2009 to provide the communities of Ottawa County support in fostering a cooperative effort between artists and the public to promote the creative arts in our region.

foster a vibrant community through the arts 

We deliver interesting programming to the community, including public events that support and drive our local economy. Most events are held in our home, The Arts Garage (or what we affectionately call TAG). In addition, the GPCAArts Council offers scholarships to our area youth, advocacy on behalf of artists and organizations, and access to arts and culture for all in Ottawa County. 

The GPCAArts Council is honored to serve the artists and creative community who make our county an inspiring place to live, work, and create. Arts and culture are at the core of strong and vibrant communities and artists play a vital role in both civic engagement and economic development. 

 

We believe the arts are for everyone, and we invite you to learn more.
