January 30, 2019 - I am ready for the weekend. Not in a cranky “this week sucked” way, but in a “OMG there are so many events to look forward to” way. Perhaps the splashiest of these hot tickets is Hamilton opening this week at the Ohio Theatre. I scrimped...

February 13, 2019 - Valentine’s Day is upon us. I’m trying not to roll my eyes. I’m only bringing it up because while searching the events calendar at columbusmakesart.com I noticed that several organizations have put together arts experiences to celebrate...
