The 2024 Columbus Arts Festival, produced by the Greater Columbus Arts Council, will feature more than 250 exhibiting artists from 33 states and Ontario, Canada. The festival runs June 7-9 on the Columbus downtown riverfront.

Ten of the 2023 award-winning artists are returning. More than 60 artists from Ohio are included. The Emerging Festival Artist program, for central Ohio artists with limited national festival experience, has 22 participants this year, its largest class to date, with mentorship and reduced booth fees.

All artists were selected from 855 applicants through a blind jury process. A jury of art experts reviewed entries identified only by number and selected work based on merit, quality, and booth presentation.
