First Fridays

Arts on the Square at First Fridays!

Creativity takes center stage in downtown Columbia City on Friday, September 5th from 6 – 9 PM at our Arts on the Square First Fridays event!

Experience our first-ever Steam Roller Party, made possible in part by Arts United and the Indiana Arts Commission, which receives support from the State of Indiana and the National Endowment for the Arts. Watch as selected artists carve designs into large woodblocks, ink them, and bring them to life with the help of a real steam roller, creating incredible prints right before your eyes!

Don’t miss the Arts on the Square Market, a one-of-a-kind market dedicated exclusively to artists. It’s the perfect opportunity to browse, shop, and connect with local talent while supporting the arts in our community.

Leave your mark on downtown by contributing to our Community Canvas in Thomas Marshall Plaza. Grab a brush, paint your spot, and help create a vibrant mural.

To top it all off, enjoy live musical entertainment from The Declassified, filling the evening with great energy and sound.

Bring your friends, family, and love for the arts—this is a night you won’t want to miss!
