Ready to see the art of Columbus through someone else’s eyes? The Painting Promise tour was curated by April Sunami, who had this to say about the tour: “These murals not only nourish my soul but also bring me immense joy. Located in community-centric spaces and adorned with vibrant colors, these artworks evoke a sense of happiness, inspire hope for the future, cultivate peace, and elevate my mood every time I lay eyes on them. I hope they have a similar uplifting effect on you.” For more info, head over to columbusmakesart.com. 

Hello, Wednesday! Chelsea here.

We’re halfway through the week and I’ve already found myself daydreaming about going away for a weekend to go camping.

Glamping really is the best of both worlds. I mean, think about it! You get a real mattress, you’re often way more protected from the weather than you would be in a tent, and for a lot of these specific spots, they come with stunning views. If you’re ready for a one-of-a-kind adventure, we’ve got all of the details below.
