Poindexter Village African American Museum Art Challenge

 "From The Roots Of The Past To The Fruits Of the Future"

Poindexter Village Afrofuturism Poetry Competition, a citywide challenge encouraging K–12 students to write poetry and explore Afrofuturism.

 The Community Through Our Lens Youth Art Challenge produced an 18-month calendar honoring artist Kojo Kamau and the historic Long Street Cultural Wall. Featuring photographs by Central Ohio students, the project captures Columbus through their perspectives while highlighting historic landmarks and preserving the city’s cultural story. 

Poindexter Village Windows of Stories Celebration and Awards Ceremony: Columbus City Schools students created artwork honoring the history and legacy of Poindexter Village. Selected pieces will be displayed in the museum’s windows during renovations. The contest received 145 entries from over 20 schools, and the May 9 event will celebrate the students and the community’s history.
