The COLUMBUS GAY MEN’S CHORUS gets it! They understand the beauty of the Not For Profit Community working together, and collaborating as these partnerships have greater impact on the communities they serve. The importance of the ARTS on the quality of life and economic development in underserved neighborhoods cannot be down-played and bringing this caliber of entertainment to this near-eastside neighborhood has significant impact on local businesses as well as visitors’ perceptions of the inner city as this neighborhood is bustling with new developments and opportunities. Our Grant to the Columbus Gay Men’s Chorus (CGMC) will allow them to provide free tickets to the King-Lincoln District Boys and Girls Club as well as neighborhood clients of Franklin County Children’s Services to come out and hear the CGMC during their presentation of MOTOWN IN OUR TOWN at the Lincoln Theatre. The Gay Men’s Chorus will also be raising their voices and discussing this entire season, the effects of HIV/AIDS on communities and families. Following the Sunday, June 30th concert, CGMC will be part of a panel exploring the impact that the music of Motown has had shaping the Lincoln Theatre district and other communities in Central Ohio.
