We strive to host inclusive, accessible events that enable all individuals, including individuals with disabilities, to engage fully. If you have questions about accessibility or require an accommodation such as CART captioning or ASL interpretation to participate in this event, please contact Accessibility Manager Helyn Marshall at accessibility@wexarts.org or via telephone at (614) 688-3890. Requests made by two weeks in advance will generally allow us to provide seamless access, but the Wexner Center for the Arts will make every effort to meet requests made after this date.
The Wexner Center’s annual Ohio Shorts festival is back for its 26th year! Showcasing Ohio’s rich community of moving image makers, the event has become known for presenting an eclectic mix of short work—from documentary, animation, or dramatic narrative to anything in-between.
The 26th edition of Ohio Shorts will be curated by local curator, DJ, and cofounder of Verge.fm Reg Zehner (they/them) who is also the first recipient of the Wexner’s Path Fellowship in Learning & Public Practice.
We welcome and encourage submissions from all ages and experience levels! Works that are included in the program will receive a $50 screening fee and be eligible for the $500 Jury Award, selected by Reg Zehner, and the $300 Audience Choice Award, which will be determined by online voting.
The deadline for entries is Monday, March 7, 2022.
An in-person screening will be held on Saturday, April 23, 2022, at 7 PM. The program will also stream online from April 23–May 7. Check back for more details!
