Be an outlaw and join us for the 10th edition of Off the Grid—the trashiest contemporary art party of the season!
This year’s event is inspired by the outrageous, boundary-pushing art of icon John Waters, the subject of our winter exhibition John Waters: Indecent Exposure. The evening features special guest DJs Marcus Marr and Jason Allen, plus sweet, savory, and fun fare from some of Columbus’s best restaurants.
Remember, we’re turning all this wild, irreverent fun into gold: all proceeds from this fundraising bash benefit the center’s innovative, internationally acclaimed education programs for kids and teens—including Pages, WorldView, WexLabs, and more.
Be an outlaw and an insider as an OTG VIP! You’ll enjoy an exclusive souvenir candle, reserved seating at the Lambert Family Lecture featuring John Waters, a special invitation to a pretalk reception, cocktails, and a VIP-only tour of the spring exhibitions.
