Join us for an evening of community, creativity, and connection.

On June 2nd from 5:30-7:30 PM, we’re gathering for a Friends & Family Fundraiser supporting the future of community art, artist opportunities, and creative gathering in Columbus.

For the past five years, All People Arts has created space for artists, heighbors, families, and. communities to come together through exhibitions, workshops, murals, and public programming rooted in accessibility and belonging.

This fundraiser is an opportunity for friends, family, supporters, and community members to inves directly in the future of that work.

This is a free event but please consider donating in an effort to fund future continuation and investments for programming in the arts.
If you’re unable to attend, you can still support the work by making a donation as well. Every, dollar goes further in a grassroots arts organization like ours - and every contribution helps keep community-centered art accessible in Columbus.

The link is below and our website!
We hope to gather with you soon.
