THIS EVENT HAS BEEN POSTPONED BECAUSE OF THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC

Saturday, April 4, 6-10pm, Columbus Cultural Arts Center, 139 W. Main St.

While millions are fleeing war, terror and persecution, 34 artists and a film crew have engaged in a mission to inspire understanding, compassion, and support. This mission, called the Columbus Crossing Borders Project, is currently touring the United States as an art exhibit and documentary film.

Through partnership with Community Refugee and Immigration Services, the audience takes an intimate look into the arduous journeys of refugees who have been willing to share their personal stories on film. Taking inspiration from these stories, 34 artists were asked to work as a cooperative community, being challenged to “cross the borders” into each other’s paintings. The result is a visual collage served up as a tribute to the resilience, strength, and spirit of those who have survived the hardship of forced migration.

On April 4, the original Columbus Crossing Borders paintings will be auctioned to the public. All proceeds from the sale of these 34 paintings will be donated to Community Refugee and Immigration Services in support of their work.

Please join us for this special evening which will include hors d’oeuvres, a host bar, and live music from the Bhutanese-Nepali Druk Fusion Band.

Tickets are $100 per person and space is limited.
