4 WELCOME

Welcome to the inaugural year of Columbus Open Studio and Stage! When the Greater Columbus Arts Council launched the Art Makes Columbus/Columbus Makes Art campaign, one of our guiding visions was to build direct interest in and engagement with the incredibly creative artists in our community.

Through social media, public relations efforts and advertising, we are telling the stories of artists in all disciplines—from theater to dance, visual arts to film and music. On the ColumbusMakesArt.com site you can explore the lives of Columbus artists through videos, photos and their words. But nothing compares to being able to talk to an artist directly, learn about their inspiration and process, and see their art in person.

When Amy Leibrand, Lisa McLymont, Stephanie Rond and Catherine Bell Smith approached us with the idea of a self-guided studio tour we immediately saw the synergy with Art Makes Columbus. Its reach across multiple neighborhoods in Columbus and the enthusiasm with which the idea was greeted among artists and others told us this event had incredible potential. By working with Columbus presenters to enable people to get a peek behind the (literal) curtain at seven different stages, and adding free programming at nine community partners, we feel that Columbus Open Studio and Stage is an ideal way to offer insight into the passion, commitment and amazement of the arts that have such a huge impact on our city.

We hope you’ll enjoy meeting these talented creatives, touring our performing venues and engaging with artists across the community. And don’t forget to #artmakescbus!

Tom Katzenmeyer President and CEO Greater Columbus Arts Council

5IN THE BEGINNING

Columbus Open Studio & Stage (COSS) was born out of a desire to reveal to the public the creative process. Artists themselves, the four founders of COSS, Stephanie Rond, Catherine Bell Smith, Lisa McLymont and Amy Leibrand, understood the misperception of artists as solitary creatures who play with mysterious, hidden methods. Having wondered “how did they create that?” the four women recognized the need for a peek behind the scenes to demystify the artistic process.

The idea for an open studio tour was first proposed by Stephanie in 2014, who approached Catherine, Lisa and Amy as co-collaborators. Originally the tour was to include only visual art studios. The scale was small—the initial intent was to conduct a pilot test with a limited number of artists before expanding citywide. However, the concept quickly took root and grew.

After many months of research and discussion, Stephanie, Catherine, Lisa, and Amy formed Columbus Open Studios, Inc. With a business plan in hand, the team approached the Greater Columbus Arts Council (Arts Council) to brainstorm about logistics and planning. The Arts Council immediately recognized the tour’s value to the community and suggested COSS seek a city-wide audience and be broadened to include performance venues and community partners. Thus, a partnership was born. This shared vision has ensured COSS a more diversified participation with a scope that includes much more than visual arts.

Though the initial idea has evolved, the COSS mission remains the same: to deepen the relationship between creative and appreciator. COSS aims to expand the creative audience within the city of Columbus by providing a unique opportunity for the public to interact with artists, observe their process, and explore backstage at performance venues. With an eye to the future, we hope to see you at COSS 2017!
