Fall into Culture in Columbus, Georgia - October 2019's Top Events

For the very first time, Columbus, Georgia is participating in National Arts & Humanities Month during October of 2019. The nation-wide event, created by Americans for the Arts in 1993, serves to bring awareness and support for the arts in communities across the country.


Earlier this week, Mayor Skip Henderson presented a proclamation declaring October as National Arts & Humanities Month. The proclamation was presented at a City Council Meeting to Cameron Bean, Chairman of the Columbus Cultural Arts Alliance, and Carrie Beth Wallace, Founder and Editor-in-Chief of The Columbusite. (Watch a video of the proclamation here.)


National Arts & Humanities Month holds over 30 arts & culture events taking place throughout the month of October. These events encompass everything from classical music concerts, to art lectures, children's theatre, and outdoor festivals.
