The Columbus Arts Festival, honored by Sunshine Artist Magazine as one of the top fine art and fine craft festivals in the country, routinely attracts art patrons to Columbus’ Downtown Riverfront along the beautiful Scioto Mile. Produced by the Greater Columbus Arts Council, the Festival offers a vibrant atmosphere in which to buy and sell original work—and the opportunity for patrons and artists to meet face to face. The Artists' Market is the heart of the Festival, and there are other exciting attractions that appeal to the arts forward community of the city, including music, dance and theatre performances, a family friendly arts area, and delicious food, craft beer and cocktails.
