Art At The Arnold

The Arnold Sports Festival located in downtown Columbus, Ohio is offering an artistic element showcasing the athletic form and using the Sports Festival as a backdrop. Our objective is to create an art competition bringing together the artistic beauty of the athletic form to over 170,000 sports fans, and athletes from around the world who attend this three day event. The 3-day “Art At The Arnold” event will be structured around a painting and drawing competition. There will be two segments to challenge the artists’ abilities; a figure drawing and painting session using athlete models and an all day open studio work session. Cash prizes will be awarded for the best art produced during this three day art competition; First Place is $1,000. Denny Griffith, President of Columbus College of Art & Design will be the judge.
