APA Annual Pick Up a brush Fundraiser
Pick Up A Brush Fundraiser
PICK UP A BRUSH. HELP KEEP ALL PEOPLE ARTS GOING.
Thank you to all of you that came to our Annual Pick Up A Brush Fundraiser!
Pick Up A Brush was made possible because of you — our artists, sponsors, supporters, volunteers, donors, and everyone who showed up to paint, connect, and support All People Arts.
Like many arts nonprofits, we’re navigating significant funding challenges while continuing to provide accessible art, exhibitions, workshops, artist opportunities, and community programming right here on the Southside of Columbus.
We’re so grateful for our APA community. Thank you for helping us keep creating!
APA Fall EXHIBITION
Art From The Inside
What happens when creativity becomes a way to express identity, memory, hope, and resilience? What do we see when we look beyond the walls?
‘Art From the Inside’ is an exhibition featuring powerful works by artists who are currently or formerly incarcerated at various Ohio institutions.
Through painting, drawing, and other forms of creative expression, these artists invite us to look beyond the circumstances of incarceration and connect with the people, perspectives, and stories behind the work.
Art From the Inside
Join us at All People Arts for the Opening Reception this Friday, August 14th, 5:30pm
On View: August 14th – October 28th, 2026
Flyer features artwork from Incarcerated Artist, Bryan
2026 In The Arts Workshops
In The Arts Workshops Scholarship Tickets
We believe access matters! Art, learning, and community should feel accessible - not exclusive!
APA is offering a limited number of scholarship tickets to our upcoming workshop for those who may need financial support to attend. We want this space to remain accessible, welcoming, and rooted in community.
If cost has been a barrier, we encourage you to apply.
If you are someone that would like to pay it forward, please consider purchasing a scholarship ticket on Eventbrite as an effort to keep our workshops accessible for all.
The 2026 In The Arts Workshop season has ended. Please consider coming back to take advantage of this opportunity in 2027.
