OIA is back at Columbus Arts Festival for another celebration of culture and humanity. At this FREE event, Mauritanian-American pop star Salif Sarr will perform some of his greatest hits. Shema Asifiwe will present his new coloring book, "Ohio Is My Second Country," and Demba Ndiath will read from his forthcoming book, "From Welcome to Deportation."

OIA's Lynn Tramonte will MC the event. We will have free coloring book pages to give to the crowd, as well as books and other OIA merchandise for purchase. Or, get your commemorative t-shirt early and wear it to the event.

ARRIVE EARLY (2pm) and find us on the state at the Cultural Arts Center (139 West Main Street - festival map). Join the discussion at the Facebook Event. Read more on the OIA blog. Watch last year's event here.
