What’s Inside the February Issue
February is the month when the noise fades and the real work shows up. This issue of The LocaL lives right there.
Inside, we spend time with the people shaping Columbus quietly and intentionally. You’ll step into The Drum and The Scribe and explore the philosophy behind Black Art in America alongside new works by Bo Bartlett. You’ll meet V, the force behind Stirrup Trouble, and see how a neighborhood watering hole became a hub for connection and collaboration.
We share a personal film essay from Andy Carpenter, a reflection on Ma Rainey’s legacy by Z Lawrence, and a thoughtful conversation with Riverdance CEO Padraic Moyles ahead of their RiverCenter performance. Plus, our full events calendar, because showing up still matters.
This issue isn’t about what’s loud. It’s about what’s real, and the people keeping Columbus thoughtful, creative, and alive.
