ACCESSIBILITY
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 to participate, 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.

Celebrate our vibrant culture of local and regional filmmaking at the Wexner Center’s 27th-annual Ohio Shorts festival.

This event features an eclectic lineup from our rich community of moving-image makers. Showcasing Buckeye-made shorts spanning documentary, animation, dramatic narrative, and more, this year’s edition of Ohio Shorts is curated by Columbus native, Linoleum director, and past Ohio Shorts participant Colin West. (program approx. 110 mins., DCP)

Join us for a postscreening reception with the filmmakers in the center’s lower lobby. While you enjoy snacks and a cash bar, we’ll announce the $500 Jury Award winner, selected by Colin West, and the audience will vote on the $300 Audience Choice Award recipient.
