All The Time in the World / August 9th

Art events in downtown Columbus Ohio for the next few days...

Saturday the 9th
7:30-11 pm
Water on the Fire tonight at the Riverfront Amphitheater in Genoa Park. This is right behind COSI on Washington Blvd. I have never been to any of these events, but seems like a good way to chill with one of the best views of our lovely little city. Musical entertainment by Outpost.

Monday August 11
8pm
Experimental Jazzie hoopla at Cafe Le Spritz house (594 E. Rich St.). Featuring the stylings of Marina Peterson, Larry Marotta, Ryan Jewell, Dan Godston. Styrofoam on a snare drum sounds really really good, but also super intense, OK.

Tuesday August 12
11:45 am- 1:15 pm
As part of the Music in the Air concert series, the Topiary Garden / Deaf School Park hosts, Vocal Impact: Soulful harmonies with dynamic jazz arrangements. 11:45 a.m. 480 E. Town St.

Wednesday August 13th
noon-1pm
Screen Works | The Wonderful World of Dogs. A film by Mark Lewis. 52 mins.
This is happening here at the Urban Arts Space.
Bring your lunch and enjoy more Dog Days of August each Wednesday with us. See a women whose Chihuahua is carried off by a hungry pelican...and a dog with a sixth sense... The Wonderful World of Dogs explores the myths, the obsessions, and the wide variety of attitudes people harbor towards our four-legged friends by introducing a few of the barkers, bullies and roamers that make up the canine population.

Thursday August 14
5:30 - 7:30
Dialogue| Ways of Knowing Water here at the Urban Art Space.
Get With the Flow...Find Out How!
Learn from those who know! Representatives from MORPC (Mid-Ohio Regional Planning Commission), and local watershed organizations such as FLOW (Friends of the Lower Olentangy Watershed), FACT (Friends of Alum Creek & Tributaries), and other groups who work to protect our waters will be on hand to discuss creating a more river-friendly, greener Columbus. Become a river steward!

7:30 -11pm
After the talk at UAS, unwind with Cocktails at the Franklin Park Conservatory rooftop garden in the Palm House, where James Turrell has his new light installation. This is a new thing happening at the conservatory every Thursday. Full bar selection along with small plate hors d’oeuvres from Cameron Mitchell Catering. I think this place is gonna be amazing, (I like Turrell's work). I'll let you know. ( No cover – 21 and over – Free Parking)
