Abstract Details

2019, Master of Arts, Ohio State University, Arts Policy and Administration.
Through a case study on the Gahanna Area Arts Council (GAAC), an emerging local arts agency in central Ohio, this research seeks to better understand the challenges and successes faced by a local arts agency in its first public year. Using Wyzsomirski's triple bottom line and Tschirhart and Bielefeld's triangle of organizational foci for balancing as a theoretical framework, this organization is examined with qualitative data acquired through interviews with board members, participant observation, and document review. The study examines the history of local arts agencies within the broader arts funding structure of the United States and the organization within its specific community. Findings reaffirm the need for balance within the organization as well as the need for local arts agencies to understand and adapt to their communities in order to be successful.
