Reaching out beyond the walls of the Ohio Craft Museum to inspire creativity in the community!
We’ve led art based projects for kids, adults and families at the Columbus Arts Festival, COSI, Columbus Commons, Grandview Hop, the Kings Art Complex, Columbus Libraries and many more.
Let us bring the museum to you! To get more details about how we can be at your event, email [email protected]
