When we turn to dust, the work we do often goes with us, so why do we do it? To connect with others. This year’s show recognizes the circle of life within creativity, personally or within a project. The celebration of exploring and having the courage to stay curious.
To help us all feel less alone, to feel inspired, to create the possibility of change, and ultimately to live a better life, a better now.
Creative Best is
the annual awards competition held by the Columbus Society of Communicating Arts. Each year, our organization gathers to recognize the outstanding works submitted by professionals and students alike in Central Ohio.
