One Columbia connects people to the arts through a variety of programs that bring creativity to life across the city. From our Public Art Directory that highlights murals, sculptures, and monuments, to opportunities for commissioning new projects, we make public art accessible and collaborative.

We also invest in the future of Columbia’s creative community through internships and artist residencies, offering hands-on experience, professional growth, and space for innovation. Together, these initiatives celebrate local culture, support artists, and ensure the arts remain a vital part of Columbia’s identity.
