ABOUT
Funding Future Artists is an annual benefit facilitated by Friends of Art (FOA) at Columbus State University. Our organization provides supplemental financial support to the Department of Art, and participates in building the CSU art program to one of the preeminent programs in the Southeast.
The goal for Funding Future Artists is to provide as many full-time scholarships as possible.

Funding Future Artists is the scholarship fund established by the Friends of Art (FOA) at Columbus State University. The 2025 benefit exhibition will feature 100 works of art donated by CSU community artists.
Each $300 ticket grants the ticket holder one work of art. This year's goal is to raise funding to support the Funding Future Artists scholarship fund, which provides a full scholarship annually to an incoming student.
The Opening Reception forTransformative Experiences will be held at Mill District Studios (the old Highland Galerie space), with ticket holders assigned times to make their selections May 1-3. Tickets are $300 and will be assigned selection times by lottery.
