Monstrous event to celebrate 50th annual Uncommon Cause

The Columbus Area Arts Council will be holding its 50th annual Uncommon Cause fundraiser later this month, with a Monster Ball theme celebrating a Columbus legend.

In addition to funding year-round programming for the Arts Council, this year’s event will feature a Fund a Need that will be raising money for a new Mill Race Monster Festival coming up in October. The festival will play off of purported 1974 sightings of a monster at the park with artist-led installations, hands-on activities, performances, and imaginative experiences throughout the park.

Uncommon Cause will include music, a silent auction, pop-up shop, games, dinner and a cash bar. There will be awards for most elegant costume and most monstrous.

Uncommon Cause will be Friday, June 26th from 7 to 11 p.m. at The Commons. You can get more information or buy tickets at artsincolumbus.org/ucc
