PRODUCED BY
On behalf of the Greater Columbus Arts Council’s staff and board, and all
the Festival volunteers, we would like to welcome you to the 54th Annual
Columbus Arts Festival!
This guide will help you find your favorite artists, activities, food vendors and
performers as well as learn more about our wonderful community partners and
other downtown activities.
As the city’s welcome to summer event, the Columbus Arts Festival has been
providing an array of arts activities for Columbus residents and visitors for
more than half a century.
The Columbus Arts Festival is produced by the Greater Columbus Arts Council
(Arts Council), the primary funding agency for the arts in Columbus. Funded
by the City of Columbus, each year the Arts Council provides more than
$4 million in support to artists and arts organizations through a competitive
grants process.
In return, our nonprofit arts sector creates $226 million in economic activity
each year and supports 8,500 jobs (2012 Arts & Economic Prosperity Study,
Americans for the Arts).
Our website at gcac.org provides more information about the Arts Council’s
programs and the impact of the arts on our community.
We hope you enjoy your time at the Columbus Arts Festival.

Please help us keep our impact on the environment ass

Get interactive at

Sign Your Art
This year the Columbus Arts Festival will
once again host a Community Art Project.
Sign Your Artt is a first of its kind street art project that
engages local artists and members of the public to create
unique art that will be installed across the entire city
y in
the summer of 2015.
Come “sign your art” at the Community Artt
Project tent on Civic Center just north of th
he
Rich Street Bridge. With assistance from local
artists and volunteers, you’ll get to express
yourself on 6"x 8" wood tiles that will be insstalled
in groups of five on street signs in strategic locations
l
ti
across the city to spell out the word “ART” on a Google
Pin Map of Columbus. Approximately 300 of the tiles painted
at the Festival will be used in the project.
Participants will be notified after the Festival if their tile
was selected for installation.

station
The Art Shark isn’t the only fun selfie opportunity.
The Arts Council’s Art Makes Columbus booth on
Civic Center Drive just south of the Rich Street
bridge entrance will have a selfie station complete
with a fan for the wind-blown photo look. This is
the perfect place for festival goers to grab a photo
with their favorite Arts Festival purchase.
Larry Smith has been
asking people to share
a life story in exactly six
words on SixWordMemoirs.com since he launched
the project as part of SMITH Magazine in 2006.
These short life stories are now known as Six-Word
Memoirs.
Nine years and more than one million stories later,
the six-word concept has become a bestselling
book series and board game, a teaching tool used
across the world, and a powerful way to spur on
self-expression. In classrooms and boardrooms,
around dinner tables and in houses of worship,
Six-Word Memoirs have been used to foster
understanding, increase focus, and break the ice.
Now comes the latest chapter in the six-word
story, Six in the City (SITC). SITC
C is loosely
modeled on the One Book, One City
y civic book
club concept, and employs all the elements that
have made Six-Word Memoirs such a successful
form of self-expression, identity and engagement.
Unlike One Book, One City, here the experience
is not around a work of literature, but rather
thousands of personal celebrations of the place
we live—six words at a time.
The Big
Brownie
Camera
New this year, artist Stephen Takacs brings
his Brownie In Motion Project, a traveling art
installation, portable darkroom and working
camera obscura. With exterior dimensions of
5' x 8.5' x 7.5', the camera is modeled after a
Kodak Brownie, and large enough for visitors
to step into. Located just south of Main St. and
S. 2nd on the edge of the park.
“Scooped with Jeni; pumped with Arnie.”
"Columbus will always take you back."
“Olde Towne East—’hood got good.”
“Smart and savvy—Cbus bucking up.”
With support from
Express, this interactive
effort will kick off a year
long project and include
a 30' wide photo gallery
that will be filled during the Festival with black
and white portraits of Festival patrons and their
Six Word Memoirs about Columbus.
A photographer will be on hand to fill the gallery
with portraits that will create a lasting display
of images and stories.

See how “makers” make with art demonstrations from local artists including
Yasuko Jameson (jewelry/kanji), Kevin Russell (pottery throwing), Devon

(chainmaille/wire sculpture).
Friday & Saturday,

Create your own work of art by participating in a make-and-take project
that will teach you a new skill, and send you home with an original piece of
artwork.
Sunday, June 14
11 a.m. – 5 p.m.
Art lovers of all ages will enjoy a wide array of arts and crafts for sale in the
large art gallery as local artists display their work for sale, constantly mixing

Her film A Million Miles Away
y watches an
adult woman (the conductor) on the edge of
failing as a pack of teenage girls (the choir)
simultaneously experience a supernatural
version of coming-of-age. The transformation
is equal parts tense and tender. It unravels
patiently to the infectious beat of an
80s era heavy metal anthem rearranged as
a lamentation.

Like a Song (Excerpt)
by Michelle Herman
As a child, I had a good, strong, sure voice—a great big voice, people said. One of my most
humiliating childhood memories: the drama club advisor, in junior high, after my audition—it was
the first week of seventh grade; I sang “Cabaret,” a cappella, urging my audience to admit that from
“cradle to tomb” wasn’t a very long stay—looking amazed, saying, “My, what a great big voice you
have for a little fat girl!”
I wasn’t that fat, but even if I had been, all these years later I still can’t believe she said it.
If I hadn’t wanted so badly to be in drama club I would have turned and walked out of
the room then and there—but I wanted it desperately, enough to thump back down
into my seat and clasp my hands and manage to keep from crying, even though
all the kids in the room, fellow petitioners for the drama club, were laughing.
I didn’t know any of those kids. We’d just moved into the neighborhood.
I had a terrible new Sassoon haircut with bangs and curled “sideburns”
I Scotch-taped to my cheeks every night, I was short, I wore thick glasses,
and I was fat. But I wanted to sing, and I could sing, I knew it.
I never made it to the first drama club production, The Boyfriend, despite
having been cast as Maisie and despite how much I loved my big song:
“Safety in Numbers” (a girl who knows a lot of beaux is never likely to grieve).
I quit halfway through rehearsals, when I realized that I hated the teacher even
more than I loved performing (which was saying a lot). And later, sitting in
the auditorium, watching another Maisie sing my songs, speak my one line of
French—Excusez-moi, Madame, je n’avais pas aucune idée que vous êtes ici!—
dance the Charleston and kiss the boy I was supposed to kiss, I was miserable.
I didn’t belong in the audience—that was how I felt, sitting there, surrounded on
all sides by other twelve- and thirteen-year-olds, invisible.

Not Horses
by Natalie Shapero
What I adore is not horses, with their modern
domestic life span of 25 years. What I adore
is a bug that lives only one day, especially if
it’s a terrible day, a day of train derailment or
chemical lake or cop admits to cover-up, a day
when no one thinks of anything else, least of all
that bug. I know how it feels, born as I’ve been
into these rotting times, as into sin. Everybody’s
busy, so distraught they forget to kill me,
and even that won’t keep me alive. I share
my home not with horses, but with a little dog
who sees poorly at dusk and menaces stumps,
makes her muscle known to every statue.
I wish she could have a single day of language,
so that I might reassure her don’t be afraid—
our whole world is dead and so can do you no harm.

The Emerging Artist program is designed specifically to
support and promote central Ohio artists who have little or
no experience exhibiting and selling their artwork at outdoor
venues. Artists who apply in this category must be residents
of Franklin or surrounding counties, including Union,
Delaware, Licking, Fairfield, Pickaway, Fayette and Madison.
Of the 29 applications received this year, 10 artists were
selected through a blind jury process by panelists selected
by Arts Council staff. As part of the program, each
participating Emerging Artist receives assistance from
Festival staff on how to best present their work to the public.
Support your local artists and buy some of their work today!
To find Emerging Artists’ booth locations on site, check out
the artists listing on page 44.
We encourage local artists who are new to exhibiting at
outdoor shows to apply to the 2016 Columbus Arts Festival.
Applications will be available at columbusartsfestival.org
starting in October.

As a dancer and choreographer at BalletMet
Columbus, Edwaard Liang uses rhythm and
movement to inspire. He knows that Columbus
is a city on the move, and there’s no place
he’d rather make his art.

Makes Columbus tent at the Arts Festival to

others in Columbus make art.
