Multicultural CommUNITY Resource Fair

Join us at the Columbus Museum of Art for this year’s Multicultural CommUNITY Resource Fair, bringing together approximately 60 community partners, nonprofit organizations, and vendors and offering a plethora of resources for refugee, immigrant, and English Learner students and their families.

We’re thrilled to welcome Taya Kidd, the 2027 Ohio Teacher of the Year, as our morning keynote speaker and Columbus City Councilmember, Lourdes Barroso de Padilla as our afternoon keynote speaker. Featuring a performance from world renowned Cuban American pianist, Dr. Orlay Alonso, AND a dragon dance from the Ohio Wushu Academy! Collaborate with attendees on an interactive watercolor experience and create a large-scale watercolor map of the world hosted by Square Canvas. Plus, all attendees will receive FREE admission to the Columbus Museum of Art for the day!

Inspired by this year’s theme, “Waving at the Future With a Pen and a Paintbrush: Healing Is Our Happiest Art,” the fair will explore the intersection of education, art, and mental health through keynote speakers, performances, breakout sessions, interactive activities, community resources, and more throughout the day.
