FEATURED VIDEOS
Westgate Neighborhood Identity Film Workshop
The Franklin County Neighborhood Arts grant provided funding for community-based arts projects taking place throughout Franklin County. The project was implemented in partnership with the Columbus International Film and Video Festival (now defunct). It included a two-part film-making workshop with the end product being a short film about Westgate. The workshop participants were residents of the neighborhood who were interested in learning the components of filmmaking, creative storyboarding, acting and scriptwriting. It has been used as a marketing tool to potential businesses and new residents, to cultivate neighborhood pride, and to encourage residents to brainstorm for new, positive and creative aspects of Westgate.
Amount Awarded: $1,000 | Completion Date: September 9, 2011

We highlighted accomplishments such as: the Westgate Home and Garden Tours, Boo on Binns and Mums & Mummies, Derby Day Dash, our book Celebrating Westgate, WNA Scholarships, Art in the Park, Mugs & Muffins, and the recreation of “The Letter B” in Westgate Park. WNA is also a proud supporter of local events such as Westgate Farmers Market and Hilltop U.S.A. 5K. Emceed by resident Dave Caperton, we recognized past board members and key event chairs with mementos of appreciation for their years of dedicated service to the neighborhood. Westgate Unexpected!
