Urban Arts Space is thrilled to announce the upcoming release of the first issue of Artist Commune—a community arts journal. This annual arts publication reconsiders accessibility in arts research and community engagement. Artist Commune features work from artists within the Columbus community, art organizations across Central Ohio, and arts-based researchers at academic institutions.
The forthcoming print and online journal contains a collection of selected pieces that push the boundaries of how art is made, viewed, and understood, particularly through community engagement. This issue, themed around Care/Culture/Justice, includes visual art, personal essays, poetry, arts research, artist interviews, video/film, and community project spotlights.
The launch party will include a free copy of the Commune. Attendees can also enjoy complimentary snacks and drinks alongside poetry readings from our contributors.
Join us on May 15 at our downtown gallery! Doors open at 6:00 PM, with readings beginning at 7:00 PM.
