Mission Statement
The mission of the Franklinton Arts District is to provide leadership related to expanding the acceptance, appreciation, support and impact of the arts and artists in Franklinton.
Where is the Franklinton Arts District located?
The Franklinton Arts District is located just west of downtown Columbus, Ohio. Featuring artist studios, performance venues, galleries, and maker spaces, the Franklinton Arts District sits west of the Scioto Peninsula, bounded by SR 315 on the west, the river on the south, and railroad tracks to the north and east.
As a residential, commercial, and industrial neighborhood in Columbus, the Franklinton neighborhood is bordered by the Scioto River and McKinley Avenue to the north, the railroad tracks and I-71 to the east, Greenlawn Avenue and I-70 to the south, and I-70 to the west.
The Franklinton Arts District collectively acknowledges that the land we are positioned on is the traditional, ancestral and contemporary lands of Indigenous people. We reside on land that was cared for and called home by the Kaskaskia [KA-SKA-SKEE-UH], Shawandasse [Sha-wan-dez] Tula (Shawnee), and Myaamia (Miami) people and their ancestors. The land was ceded to the United States by Cession 11 (Treaty of Greenville) in 1795.
By offering this land acknowledgement, we affirm tribal sovereignty and will work to be accountable to American Indian peoples and nations.
