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...

April 03, 2019 - As I sit down to write this, my weather app is telling me that Saturday, April 6, will have a high of 69 degrees and only 10% chance of rain. If that holds we might actually have spring people. Spring in Ohio must not be ignored so...

May 29, 2019 - I know the official start of summer isn’t until late June, but Memorial Day always feels like the true start the season for me. The kids are done with school (OMG, when did that happen?!), the weather’s warming up, everyone’s making summer...

July 31, 2019 - This past Sunday my family and I made our annual trek to the Ohio State Fair. As usual, it’s an overwhelming and delightful cacophony of sights, sounds and smells: crowds of people, music, fried food, farm animals. We always make a point...

July 29, 2020 - I’m going to be honest: as I start scanning the calendars on ColumbusMakesArt.com each week to write this blog post, I’m not sure what I’m going to find. Over the past few months there have been so many canceled concerts and exhibitions...

September 02, 2020 - In the age of Cornavirus does a “holiday” weekend mean anything? Hell, does “weekend” have meaning anymore? Perhaps not. With the days of the week blurring together for many, events like Rhapsody & Refrain 2: 30 Columbus Poets,...

February 03, 2021 - I love the month of February. We’re solidly in the depths of winter, often the prettiest parts of it, but already heading toward spring. It’s Black History Month, the month of Mardi Gras, Valentine’s (which, yes, is corny but also can be...
