Opera Columbus:
Opera Columbus made its debut at the festival in 2009. This year they return with a program that is sure to impress - a season preview featuring works from upcoming 2010-2011 concerts.
"We are very excited to be a part of the Riverfront Arts Festival and WaterFire Columbus for the 2nd consecutive year. It is with great pleasure that we share a preview of our 2010-2011 season with the community through a concert of Mozart, Gilbert & Sullivan, and Kurt Weill, featuring favorite local singers." - Bill Boggs, Artistic Director Opera Columbus.

Artists:
The Riverfront Art Festival features approximately 150 artists, representing 26 states. While it is national in scope, 24 of the festival's artists are local to Central Ohio. The Riverfront Art Festival believes that it is important to showcase the incredible amount of homegrown talent in Columbus. The festival is juried for quality and balance of mediums, and all of the work for sale must be handmade by the artist, who must be present at the festival. A complete list of exhibiting artists along with small photos of their work is available at www.riverfrontartfestival.com For more information on any of the festival's artists please email info@byhandevents.com

WaterFire:
The Riverfront Art Festival began partnering with WaterFire Columbus in 2008 when it moved to Genoa Park. This relationship has grown and flourished, and this year we are pleased to offer WaterFire burns on both the Friday and Saturday nights of the festival.
