A Look At This Year's Columbus Arts Festival

columbusartsfestival.org

Today is the start of the 58th annual Columbus Arts Festival downtown.  

The Greater Columbus Arts Council event is funded through private partnerships and a share of the city hotel-motel tax. It is expected to draw 450 thousand people through Sunday evening.  GCAC's Jami Goldstein tells Alison Holm this year's festival has a newly expanded footprint - 270 artists from 44 states and four countries, as well as five entertainment stages and a line-up of daily headliners.

Goldstein says a map of the festival and information is available online.  And she recommends downloading the app for all the latest updates.

A native of Chicago, naturalized citizen of Cincinnati and resident of Columbus, Alison attended Earlham College and the Ohio State University. She has equal passion for Midwest history, hockey and Slavic poetry.
