July 24, 2019 - Let’s just face a few uncomfortable facts: Many great arts events in summer are outside, and it’s hot—really frackin’ hot. What this means to me is that an event needs to be worthy of any discomfort I might feel heading out of doors....
October 16, 2019 - I spent this past weekend on a Cub Scout campout with my oldest. It was wonderful to be immersed in nature with this beautiful autumn weather, although once the sun went down it was a cool 36 degrees out.

December 16, 2020 - The holidays are here (happy Hanukkah to those that celebrate), but I cannot find my holiday spirit. I think I left it back in 2019. When I’m feeling meh, I look to the arts to pick me up. I searched the ColumbusMakesArt.com events...
