New for 2008

A new chapter in the Columbus Arts Festival’s history begins in 2008. A new location and new presenting sponsor are just a few of many changes for the coming year. With a move to the Discovery District for the 2008 event June 6,7 and 8, we will join the neighborhood of some of Columbus’ most exciting art and educational entities — Columbus College of Art and Design, the Columbus Museum of Art and Columbus State Community College — all of whom have become integral partners in the relocation. Integrating the Festival into the heart of the Discovery District, we hope to help raise the profile of the cultural treasures in the area.

Time Warner Cable, a longtime media partner, is the now the presenting sponsor through 2010. The coming years will offer exciting opportunities for the Festival and Time Warner Cable to explore new avenues for introducing the Festival to a broader audience.
