Columbus based The Couchfire Collective has 2 open calls for entries.

FEAST- A unique way to fund creativity

Monday, February 22
6:30pm - 9pm 
Haiku Poetic Food and Art
800 N. High St. Columbus, OH 43206
 

In a year of decreasing arts funding, Couchfire Collective is borrowing an idea from some very friendly folks in NYC and having a dinner party which presents a grant award to an artist, performer, or person with a creative venture that they are having trouble funding. The event is intended to be a partnership between artists, a restauranteur, and the community and serves as a democratic funding mechanism.  For more info and to enter the show follow this link.


Touchy Feely- Participate. Engage. Interact.

Opening Saturday February 27
6pm - 10pm
at the Ohio Art League Gallery
in the South Campus Gateway

1552 N. High St.

Couchfire presents a hands-on exhibition, literally.
Viewers will take part in an interactive exhibition where they can pick up the artwork and experience it hands-on. Pieces may be functional, decorative, narrative depending on the artists desires. The whole point is the experience created when an audience gets in touch with art.  For more info and to enter the show follow this link.

Portfolio supports Mid-Ohio Foodbank's fight against hunger

In honor of our talent & clients this holiday season, Portfolio made a donation to the Mid-Ohio Foodbank's 'Campaign to Sustain'. Earlier this week we toured their amazing new facility and learned how the Foodbank helps so many central Ohio soup kitchens, shelters, after school programs and senior housing sites. We also learned it couldn't be done without the generous time and energy of volunteers! The Mid-Ohio Foodbank partners with over 500 agencies in 20 counties. They receive 150,000 food requests each month and provide 43,000 meals each day. 38% of the food requests they receive from food pantries are for children. And, for every $1 they receive, they distribute $8 worth of food. Please visit www.midohiofoodbank.org to learn more about fighting hunger and participate in volunteer opportunities.
