Community Street Art Project

The Ohio State Fair Fine Arts Exhibition would like to thank the Greater Columbus Arts Council on behalf of the Community Street Art Project. This program has been brought to you, and made possible by the Franklin County Neighborhood Arts Grant funded by Franklin County Board of Commission.

The Community Street Art Project provides an opportunity for local artists to collaborate with community summer camps/programs in the Columbus area, teaching children basic design concepts and techniques, promoting the Ohio State Fair in doing so.The final street painting project will be presented July 30th to August 1st and again August 6th to August 8th.

Sheep Show!

Have you seen all the animals at the Fair today? The horses are here, and there are plenty of cattle, but I’ve spent most of the day near the sheep barn. With the junior market lamb show going on, they sure are busy over there. It’s one of the biggest shows at the Fair and I love to see the young exhibitors so excited to show off their animals. There are so many things they must do to prepare for the show. Wool is flying everywhere over there as the exhibitors trim and wash the sheep. It reminded me that the sheep shearing contest is coming up on Friday as well, another competition I’ll be sure to catch. For now, I’m just trying to wait patiently until they announce the Grand and Reserve Champions tonight at 7 pm!

Shining a Light on Che' Marie

We would like to extend a special thank you, and shine a light on songstress Che'Marie.

It was our great pleasure to present songstress, Che'Marie, as the entertainment for our Opening Ceremony last night. However, she did much more than entertain. Most were captivated by her melodious nature, and charmed to stay for a listen. Her soulful style and poetic voice are undeniable, and it was an honor to serve as a unique platform for a truly revolutionary artist.

Che'Marie Guy is a native of Chicago, Illinois, but has been a Columbus resident for over ten years. As part of the Fly Mental family she, along with her label mates, represents a "No box, no limits..." mentality. For more information, and booking, check out the Fly Mental website and facebook page!
