UnderCurrent
A new celebration series in the heart of Downtown, both for and from the community.
About the UnderCurrent series
Downtown's newest street festival
Imagine a night market, block party, and more curated by Columbus’ brightest creative minds! UnderCurrent is a new event series in 2024 occurring underneath Janet Echelman’s “Current” sculpture at the intersection of Gay & High streets.
Downtown Columbus, Inc. launched a new grant program to help bring the community’s big ideas to provide unique, accessible and creative programming to life in the 2024 event season. It’s an exciting opportunity for event organizers, creatives and artists to receive support to facilitate a community event in the heart of Downtown.
When future UnderCurrent events are chosen and scheduled, they will be posted here.
Applications are currently closed, but our team will reach out if interested in collaborating on a future event.
