“Using various mediums, 50 to 60 artists from across the nation will demonstrate their artistic talent before thousands of spectators and then submit entries for the exhibition and contest,” Co-Chair Kevin Buckland said. “It is a unique and fun event for the audience, athletes and artists alike -- The Ultimate Artistic Workout.
”Art At The Arnold will be held in the North Atrium of the Greater Columbus Convention Center. “This grand space is surrounded floor to ceiling by windows that give artists lots of natural lighting and plenty of room to work,” Buckland said.
