About CMAD

Columbus Museum of Art & Design (CMAD) is a volunteer-led granting organization that supports and works with organizations to bring unique visual art and design projects to the Columbus community.  Over the past year CMAD has created a more focused approach of being a funder of art rather than a direct programmer or curator. 

The grant process introduced in 2019 is intended to be repeated twice yearly to ensure new art and design experiences are regularly available to the residents of Columbus and surrounding areas.  

Mission

Columbus Museum of Art & Design enriches and engages the community through public visual art and design experiences.
