The Columbus Film, Author & Photography Festival: Celebrating Creativity in Film, Literature, Photography, Music, and Dance.
The Columbus F.A.P. Festival encourages and supports the growing number of people in the arts. This festival aims to reward the accomplishments of like-minded artists who aim to create interesting content. This festival is for new and veteran artists, youth starting in middle school through adults.
