Looking for the perfect piece of art?
You might find it at the Columbus Arts Festival, which started this morning in the Discovery District Downtown.
More than 250 artists are selling their work, including practical kitchenware and eccentric pieces of art. The event is expected to draw a crowd of at least 250,000.
Visitors in need of the perfect necklace will find nearly 30 jewelry vendors. People searching for a sculpture to complete their living room can visit six sculptors at the festival. Artists will also be selling photography, paintings, leather goods and more.
As always, there will be food vendors, concerts and hands-on art activities for children.
This year's show will feature work from 53 new artists.
Last year, visitors who crowded the festival's new home in the Discovery District had to deal with temperatures well into the 90s. This year, the weather promised to be milder, with a high of 76 today and temperatures in the 80s Saturday and Sunday.
The festival runs until 10 p.m. tonight, and continues Saturday from 11:30 a.m. to 10 p.m. and Sunday from 11:30 a.m. to 6 p.m. The event is free.
The Discovery District is roughly bordered by E. Broad and E. Long streets and Cleveland and Washington avenues.
