Community Outreach

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]

Outreach Partnership with OhioHealth – We are proud to partner with OhioHealth’s grief support team in providing a 5-week workshop leading participants in creating a ceramic memory bowl in honor of a departed loved one. Workshops are offered in the Spring and Fall.
