Can Columbus make its mark in indie art?
November 15, 2007
As the Dispatch reported on October 19, an Atlanta firm hired to research the demand for a new convention hotel in Downtown Columbus confirmed a fact that was already simmering among city leaders: Columbus needs to do a better job of marketing itself.
Experience Columbus CEO Paul Astleford described the current situation as “a complete lack of image in the national marketplace.”
A grassroots group of artists has come up with a unifying identity they believe the city can get behind, and a new slogan, “Columbus: Indie Art Capital of the World.”
Spearheading the effort is Mike Reed, web developer and member of the Couchfire artists’ collective, and Daniel Fox, proprietor of on-demand T-shirt marketplace Skreened. But as Reed stressed during a recent conversation, “It’s shaping up to be an everyone thing.”
