Description
The Riverfront Art Festival celebrates its fifth anniversary this year. It features a picturesque setting, winding along the west bank of the Scioto River in downtown Columbus. The location is nearly synonymous with festival-going, in a city ranked by American Style Magazine as one of the top 10 big cities for art. While the heartbeat of the festival is its amazing selection of visual artists, the location is also home to a waterfront amphitheater, which plays host to a free performance by Opera Columbus, the season finale of Waterfire, and jazz over the course of the weekend - which helps to bring in the show's large crowds of well-heeled patrons. The show features abundant parking, free electricity, a stunning view of the city, and free bottled water for artists, along with the artist friendly nature and ease of interaction for which By Hand has earned its reputation. We hope to have the opportunity to host you among the 150 artists presented at this year's Riverfront Art Festival.
