 Columbus Makes Art Passport  
September 1 – October 31 
Around town  

Not a festival per se, but since we missed another year of the Arts Festival, GCAC is giving you a chance to experience art around the city in a new way. Simply pick up your passport starting in mid-August and start exploring the 65 stops – some will be one-night-only opportunities, while others will offer multiple days to get stamped.  In addition to collecting 31 different artist-designed stickers, you’ll also be working your way toward some pretty spectacular prizes.
