Cut and Paste, Columbus!
BIG NEWS!
WE LAUNCHED A MAGAZINE!
That's right!! The first issue of RGC Magazine, brought to you by the CCC, has been officially released!
RGC Magazine (which stands for "Really Good Collage" lol), is a fun, free, community publication celebrating collage art here in Columbus. Within its beautiful pages you will find full-color artwork, artist bios, and cut-out pages for your own collages.
Ad space is sold out for this issue, but you can still help! Any contributions will help increase our print runs and we will include your name as an individual contributor (unless you tell us otherwise).
You can get your copy at any of our upcoming collage parties, or if you can’t make it, reach out to info@columbuscollagecollective.com and we’ll ship one to you!

We encourage you all to not only collage with us, but to attend other workshops, cheer on the musicians, buy art from the vendors, or most importantly, sign up to volunteer!
In the communal spirit of the festival, we'll be creating a group collage together. Come by to add to the project! Thank you Comfest, we're excited to be part of this year's event!!

READ ABOUT US!
Narratives Rearranged: Collage as an Act of Resistance
By: Nikki Skyer
Collage is an art rooted in disruption. It resists singular narratives, building from preexisting fragments and making space for complexity, contradiction, and the unlikely artist. That spirit was alive and flowing through the Columbus Collage Collective’s meeting this January. Over 65 community members of all ages, backgrounds, and identities came together at the Fran Ryan Center for an evening of shared creativity.
