Village Makers Festival

September 10, 2022 @ 12:00 pm - 4:00 pm EDT

Join us to honor our Village Maker Award winners and celebrate 86 years of Central Community House!

Note: The originally scheduled date for this event was May21, 2022. It has been postponed to September 10, 2022 .

ALL ARE WELCOME. The event will celebrate the history of Central Community House, the Near East, and give honors to the everyday heroes, dedicated volunteers, and selfless professionals who work to make our community a better place.

The Village Maker Festival will take place outdoors on the green space at the Walter & Marian English Center for Art & Community (1251 Bryden Road. Columbus, OH 43205). It will feature an afternoon of live music, performances, and art showcases on the lawn from nationally and locally renowned artists and TRANSIT ARTS youth (our teen/young adult development program that utilizes arts and entrepreneurship to engage young people in positive pursuits).

The event will also include the presentation of Central Community House’s annual Village Maker Awards. Individuals, businesses or groups are nominated from the community and selected by a committee of Board, staff, and volunteers to receive the Village Maker Awards. The actual awards are a framed print of artwork by one of our Master Artists with the TRANSIT ARTS program.

Come enjoy food trucks/concessions, beer and wine, artist galleries/shops, and games and crafts for kids.

Sponsorships help Central Community House serve as a lifeline for over 4,000 people in our community struggling with the effects of poverty and to provide valuable, empowering programs for local children, teens, families, and seniors. Over 100 supporters and fellow advocates for the community will be in attendance.
