The Greater Columbus Arts Council (GCAC) and the Columbus Bar Association (CBA) offer a program providing pro bono legal assistance for Franklin County individual artists and small arts organizations. The Arts Legal Assistance Program is offered for arts related issues based on CBA defined areas on legal support (i.e., contracts, copyright and trademark issues, business structure issues and lease agreements). The program is intended to support individual artists and smaller arts groups. This includes arts organizations with annual budgets of less than $500,000. Artists and organizations seeking a referral to the appropriate attorney will contact GCAC who will do a preliminary evaluation of the request. GCAC will help address questions from prospective artists or arts organizations regarding the scope and services available through the Arts Legal Assistance Program, and will help ensure resources are made available on the broadest possible basis to artist and organizations with the most significant need.
