ART
Harmony Project is art. Creativity fosters a shared space where people can embrace their differences and build social harmony.

Harmony Project helps inspire the Columbus community to disrupt dissonance, embrace difference and build social harmony through people, art, and community that make an impact. PEOPLE
Harmony Project is people--different faiths, different ethnicities, different backgrounds, different abilities, and different beliefs—practicing the powerful idea that the dissonance between us can be disrupted when p

eople work together. Art is the catalyst for change—combating disinformation, shattering stereotypes, expanding cultural knowledge, and creating empathy for one another. COMMUNITY
Harmony Project is community, inspiring individuals to meet their own biases head-on. Neighbors and neighborhoods are engaged in service to forge a path toward a richer and more inclusive community. It takes more than one voice to live in harmony. DISRUPTING DISSONANCE
EMBRACING DIFFERENCE
BUILDING SOCIAL HARMONY
This is how Harmony fulfills its mission of building a more inclusive society. Breaking down social barriers, bridging community divides, and empowering the voices of the people through the arts and through volunteer service to the community.

Every person deserves to be seen, valued, and celebrated for who they are.

This Pride Month, we're proud to celebrate Columbus Pride Bands, an organization that uses music to build community, foster belonging, and create a space where people can be their authentic selves.

Columbus Pride Bands calls the Harmony Center home, rehearsing and performing in our space throughout the year. We're honored to share our home with an organization whose mission aligns so closely with our own.

As Pride Month continues, we're excited to help spread the word about their upcoming performances. If you have the chance, come out to support Columbus Pride Bands and celebrate the power of music, community, and belonging together.

Happy Pride Month! 🌈

More than one volunteer. More than one project.

Today, 80+ volunteers joined Harmony Project at Devonshire Elementary to paint playground activity areas, build shelving, organize storage spaces, and help create a brighter, more welcoming environment for students and staff.

As part of our One Week, One Neighborhood initiative, this was our second year at Devonshire—and another reminder that community is built when people come together to serve.

Because every painted line and every helping hand is about more than one project. It’s about investing in children, strengthening neighborhoods, and creating places where everyone can thrive. Columbus City Schools

It takes more than one voice to create a night like Concert for Humanity.

To the six incredible artists who joined us on stage Thursday night, thank you for sharing your talent, energy, and heart with our community: Krate Digga, Sydney McSweeney, Joey Hebdo, Zayne, Hoodoo Soul Band, and Josh Krajcik.

Each of you brought something uniquely your own, and together, you helped create something bigger than any one performance.

Thank you for lending your voices to this mission and for showing what’s possible when artists come together in service of community.

The real work of Harmony happens every day in classrooms, theater and community spaces, correctional facilities, and neighborhoods across Central Ohio where we use the arts to create connection, opportunity, and belonging.

Help us keep that momentum going.

Your support helps power programs that bring people together and prove that the arts can do more than inspire. They can transform.

Inside the walls of the Ohio Reformatory for Women, something extraordinary happens each year.

More than 3,000 people gather for one of the most unique arts festivals in the country.

The Sunflower Arts & Music Festival brings incarcerated men and women together with community leaders, elected officials, Ohio Department of Rehabilitation and Correction leadership, Harmony supporters, artists, and local bands for a day of music, storytelling, and visual arts.

But Sunflower is about more than performances.

It creates opportunities for people to be seen, rebuild confidence, and reconnect with purpose, voice, and community. Inside a prison environment, those moments matter deeply.

The Sunflower Arts & Music Festival has become a nationally recognized model for what arts programming inside prisons can accomplish—not only for incarcerated individuals, but for the communities they will one day return to.

As Harmony prepares for the fourth annual Sunflower Prison Arts and Music Festival on tomorrow, hear from our founder and creative director, David Brown:

I’ve spent years witnessing what happens when people are given the chance to reconnect with their humanity through the arts. That’s what the Sunflower Arts & Music Festival represents.

What began as a connection between incarcerated women in Ohio and children at the Sunflower Children’s Hospice in South Africa has grown into an annual festival where incarcerated men and women from across Ohio come together to share music, poetry, visual art, dance, and personal storytelling.

Sunflower is not really about performance. It’s about humanity.

Over the years, I’ve watched Harmony’s Prison Arts Programs help people rebuild confidence, trust, accountability, and community in places where those things can be hard to find.

As Harmony prepares for the fourth annual Sunflower Prison Arts and Music Festival on June 2, we’re sharing stories that reflect the transformative power of this work.

This is Rochelle’s story:

I spent decades working inside Ohio’s prison system, and during that time, I saw countless programs come and go. But when I first stepped into a Harmony Project rehearsal at the Ohio Reformatory for Women, I knew this was something different.

I watched women begin to lower their defenses. I watched trust grow. I watched people who had spent years defined by their worst decisions reconnect with parts of themselves they thought were gone.

Years later, when I became Warden at Pickaway Correctional Institution, one of the first things I did was bring Harmony to the men incarcerated there. And once again, I witnessed that same transformation.

Today, I’m part of Harmony’s leadership team, continuing work I have believed in from the very beginning.

Because this is far more than a music program. It’s a pathway to healing, accountability, and second chances.

As we prepare for the fourth annual Sunflower Prison Arts and Music Festival on June 2, we’re sharing stories that reflect the transformative power of Harmony’s work.

Here is Paul’s story:

I spent nearly three decades incarcerated. In that time, I experienced profound loss and, like so many, began to lose hope.

Then, Harmony arrived at the Pickaway Correctional Institution.

What started as a Prison Arts program became something far more personal for me: a source of connection, belonging, and belief in a different future. I watched the program change not only my own life, but the lives of the men around me.

After my release in December 2025, Harmony hired me full-time. Today, I help manage the theatre space at Harmony Center while building a future rooted in purpose.

I believe everyone deserves the chance to reconnect with their humanity, and there are still so many people inside waiting for that opportunity.

What a beautiful way to wrap up the season.

This week, our Ability Arts community gathered at Whetstone Park for our annual end-of-season picnic, bringing together more than 150 participants, volunteers, staff, and partners for an afternoon of good food, connection, and celebration.

A special thank you to our partners who helped make the day possible, including Goodwill Columbus, whose support helped provide the picnic, along with National Church Residences, ViaQuest, Open Door Columbus, and ARC Voyagers.

Programs like Ability Arts are built on connection, and this was such a joyful reminder of what community can look like. bit.ly/42xvPnh
