The Governor's Award for the Arts winners are chosen for outstanding contributions to the arts statewide, regionally and nationally. Ohio possesses a wealth of individuals and institutions that are supportive of the arts, and for that reason the selection process for the Governor's Awards is highly competitive.

The 2012 Governor's Awards luncheon will take place May 9 at noon at The Columbus Athenaeum in downtown Columbus.
