(335)

Wild Goose Creative facilitates the creation of art across multiple mediums by providing resources and experiences for the Columbus creative community while connecting artists and audiences in a versatile space. Wild Goose Creative is a catalyst and a gathering place for local artists, audiences, and creative people. With a multipurpose creative space at 188 McDowell Street that is sometimes a gallery, sometimes a school, a kitchen table, a living room, a concert hall, or a dance floor, Wild Goose Creative cultivates the creation of excellent and surprising art. It’s about sustainable partnerships and artistic collaborations. It’s about giving artists resources and facilitating their work. It’s about creating a space for people to experience art and engage each other, to tell stories and listen. It's about participating in the hospitable arts culture of Columbus, Ohio. Mostly, Wild Goose Creative is about helping to build a vibrant community of people who care about art and who want to change the world. All the programs you see listed on our site either got their start or have found a temporary home at Wild Goose Creative and are coordinated by creative people in the Columbus community. WGC is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that is supported by community donations and by generous grants from the Columbus Foundation, The Ohio Arts Council, and The Greater Columbus Arts Council. The grants from GCAC have been made possible by the City of Columbus. We have also received grants through The United Way of Central Ohio and the Coalition for a Non-Violent Columbus. And lastly, we have amazing members.

We are so grateful for our neighbors who helped us get boarded up quickly and for the outpouring of support we’ve received from the community after yesterday’s car crash.

All programming is still on this week at Wild Goose, including Monday’s Figure Art (live figure model session), Tuesday’s Portfolio (artist q&a with Cliff Lewis), and Thursday’s Speak Easy (live storytelling on the topic of Stage Fright).

Head to wildgoosecreative.org to register for any of our programs or to make a donation to help us keep ‘em going!
