Local creatives– be they artists, musicians, singers, dancers, writers, mixologists, chefs– have brought interest, attitude, and entertainment to this city for decades.

Let this last celebration be a jumping off point for bigger and better things for the Columbus arts Scene.

Join us in partying for the arts like there’s no tomorrow because for Independent’s Day, there isn’t.
