Franklinton Arts District is hosting their 4^th Annual Art for Franklinton on Saturday May 19 from 7-10 p.m. at the Columbus Idea Foundry (421 W State St Columbus).

This event will feature panels from Urban Scrawl, an annual two-day festival hosted by the Franklinton Arts District. The fundraiser will feature both a silent auction and live auction, as well as food and entertainment.

Proceeds will benefit the George Bellows Grant Program, which funds the enhancement of arts, culture, collaboration, and community in the emerging arts hub of Franklinton.

It provides bold and innovative opportunities to artists and art enthusiasts through specialized programming, festivals, and exhibitions, and it connects residents, businesses, and local organizations to promote energetic collaboration in the arts.
