SUPPORTING ART. ADVANCING CULTURE.
ColumbusMakesArt.com#artmakescbus
Jazz has played a major role in bringing people together. It’s a language, an expression of ideas, a means of communicating. When jazz speaks, it conveys thoughts. It moves some intellectually and others emotionally. In our community you’ll find every form of art from all genres of music, dance, visual arts, spoken word, etc. And for those who observe it, art affects them the same way ... it crosses boundaries and transcends barriers, so that it’s shared by all. I’m Bobby Floyd. Music is my art and there’s no place I’d rather make it.
