Coffee with a Cause: The Importance of the Arts in Columbus
Start your morning with purpose and connection at Coffee with a Cause, our monthly community conversation series that brings people together over coffee and shared impact.
This month’s program, The Importance of the Arts in Columbus, explores how the arts fuel creativity, economic vitality, and community identity across Central Ohio. From live performance and public art to arts education and creative entrepreneurship, the cultural sector plays a vital role in shaping a more vibrant, inclusive, and connected city.
Join us at COhatch Polaris (1554 Polaris Pkwy, Suite 325, Columbus, OH 43240 – right behind the Cheesecake Factory and Barnes & Noble) for an engaging conversation with local arts leaders and advocates as we discuss the impact of the creative economy, the role of the arts in strengthening neighborhoods, and how individuals and businesses can support and sustain Columbus’ thriving cultural landscape.
