Transit Arts

Central Community House, founded in 1936, has been serving the Columbus near east and south areas. It seeks to empower individuals and families to achieve their maximum potential, working toward self-sufficiency with dignity. In cooperation with others, we are building a community that supports, nurtures, and empowers each other. TRANSIT ARTS Program at Central Community House TRANSIT ARTS is a program of Central Community House's mission achievement. It is a collaborative partnership with Central Community House, the Ohio Alliance for Arts Education, and the Columbus Federation of Settlements members.
