Short North Arts District, Columbus, Oh—Over 120 business owners and managers filled Havana Video Lounge Wednesday evening for the Short North Business Association’s Annual Meeting and to celebrate the organization’s 25th anniversary of incorporation. Following a tremendous year of accolades from across the country (including articles in the New York Times, the Chicago Tribune and CNNMoney.com; as well as honors from Ohio Magazine heralding Gallery Hop as the “Best Arts Event in the State“, and Experience Columbus’ 2008 Expy Award), the SNBA announced the Arts District would not be resting on its laurels. With a quarter century of outstanding revitalization under its belt, the District finds itself on the cusp of national stardom… an acclaimed destination with top of mind recognition synonymous with its hometown: a marketing advantage held by only a handful of cities with similar destinations, including: New York’s Chelsea and SoHo districts, Seattle’s Pike Street Market, and New Orlean’s French Market.
