Flyover

“We want to plant a flag with Flyover, not only to show off the great creativity of people in Columbus, but also to bring creatives from the region together in a spirit of camaraderie. It’s perhaps more important now than ever,” says Festival Organizer Justin McIntosh.

Flyover is an inclusive and fresh 3-day festival in the North Campus, South Clintonville, and South Side neighborhoods. Through multiple arts in walkable, distinctive venues, our goal is to engage the city, stimulate creativity, and spark conversation.

Like festival founders Two Dollar Radio, our featured guests are too loud to ignore. These are internationally acclaimed artists, often from the Midwest, who demand attention through their ideas, art, and hustle. You can find their work in literature, music, film, podcasts, and more.

Planning for the festival was coordinated by former Columbus Alive Editor Justin McIntosh, Outer Orbit Booking, Two Dollar Radio, Molly Delaney, arts advocate and musician Philip Kim, librarian Christina Dorr, and author Elissa Washuta. Film programming at the Wexner Center for the Arts was done in cooperation with David Filipi and Chris Stults.
