MORE, WE DO THAT ONCE A YEAR, OR, WE PARTNER WITH AN ORGANIZATION, SOMETHING BIGGER THAN OURS, WE HAVE DONE WOSU, SHORT NORTH STAGE, CONCERTS, THAT ARE PRETTY LARGE.

15, 23 PEOPLE CONCERTS WITH ALL ORIGINAL STUFF.

WE ARE TRYING TO BUILD THAT COLUMBUS BODY OF WORK.

THAT IS THE KIND OF THING THAT WE DO.

>> THAT IS INCREDIBLE.

FOR PEOPLE WHO HAVE EXPERIENCED THAT, THAT IS UNIQUE AND WONDERFUL.

>> I WANT PEOPLE TO TRAVEL HERE TO SEE WHAT WE HAVE TO OFFER.

>> THERE IS SO MUCH TO EXPERIENCE.

WONDERFUL.

WE SHOULD GET STARTED.

PUPPIES CHICKPEAS IN OUR BIG BOWL.

WE HAVE ALREADY DRAINED THEM, RINSE THEM, PATTED THEM DRY.

ADD THE OLIVE OIL.

YOU CAN MIX AND I WILL SPRINKLE IN THE SEASONINGS.

WE WILL GET THESE IN HERE.

YOU JUST WANT TO SPREAD THEM OUT SO THEY ARE IN AN EVEN LAYER.

THE OVEN IS PREHEATED AT 400 DEGREES AND WE WILL KEEP AN EYE ON THEM UNTIL THEY GET CRISPY.

PRETTY SIMPLE.

YOU COULD STOP THERE AND SNACK ON THEM BUT WE WILL GO FURTHER.

PERFECT.

THANKS, SCOTT.

SCOTT WHILE OUR CHICKPEAS ROAST, TELL ME ABOUT THE ART THAT IS CREATED AND DISPLAYED AT THE STREETLIGHT GUILD.

>> WE HAVE A PERMANENT COLLECTION OF ART, ME GOING OUT TO OTHER SHOWS, EXHIBITS, GALLERIES, AND BUYING PHYSICAL ART BY COLUMBUS ARTISTS.

WE HAVE AN ORIGINAL AMINO COME ALL KINDS OF THINGS.

WE HAVE ARTISTS AND RESIDENTS WHO ROTATE IN AND OUT.

WE DO LONG RESIDENCIES WITH OUR ARTISTS SO THEY CAN SETTLE IN AND REALLY WORK ON --WE ARE BIG ON BODIES OF WORK.

WE TRIED TO GIVE THEM ENOUGH TIME TO DO THAT.

WE PUT THAT ON DISPLAY.

WE HAVE A GALLERY.

IN WHICH WE WILL PUT MAYBE ONE TO THREE SHOWS PER YEAR.

BECAUSE WE ARE NOT OPEN AS MANY DAYS AS A LOT OF PEOPLE, WE KEEP OUR EXHIBITS LONGER.

WHILE YOU ARE AT ANY EVENT, OUR GALLERY IS ALWAYS OPEN AND YOU ARE ALWAYS EXPERIENCING THE PERMANENT ART, THE EXHIBITED ART, ALWAYS HAPPENING.

>> HOW DO YOU GO ABOUT FINDING NEW COLUMBUS ARTISTS?

MAYBE NOT EVERYONE IS FAMILIAR WITH?

>> IMPORTANT, AS THE CURATOR, TO GO TO AS MANY OF EVENTS, OPENINGS, GALLERIES, TRY TO SEE WHO IS DOING WHAT.

AND BUILDING RELATIONSHIPS WITH INSTITUTIONS LIKE THE MUSEUM.

I JUST KEEP MY EAR TO THE GROUND.

THAT IS HOW PEOPLE KNOW TO COME TO ME.

>> THERE IS SO MUCH TALENT IN THE CITY.

>> MORE THAN ANYONE CAN SHOW.

>> ABSOLUTELY.

SCOTT, WE HAVE OUR CHICKPEAS OUT OF THE OVEN.

>> THEY LOOK SO GOOD.

>> THEY SMELL AMAZING.

THEY ARE ALL CRISPED UP, YOU CAN'T LET THEM GET CRISPIER, YOU LET THEM COOL AND KEEP THEM FOR SNACKS, OR HAVE A MEDITERRANEAN PITA SANDWICH.

WE SHOULD DO IT.

PITA, PITA HERE, IF YOU WANT TO OPEN THAT UP, DELICIOUSLY SPICED CHICKPEAS WITH YUMMY TOPPING.

YOU CAN CUSTOMIZE YOUR OWN PITA SNACK.

THERE YOU GO.

FETA, TOMATOES, OLIVES, TZATZIKI.

>> I THINK I WILL HAVE EVERYTHING.

WE WENT THROUGH ALL THIS TROUBLE.

>> RIGHT.

DOING A THE SERVICE IF WE DON'T.

THESE SMELL SO GOOD.

SO FRESH.

I WANT TO DO EXTRA, YOU COULD PICKLE THE ONIONS, THAT WOULD BE A GREAT TREAT.

>> THESE ARE SNACKING TOMATOES, CHERRY, GRAP, GRAPE, -- NOT SURE THE DIFFERENCES.

ARE YOU AN OLIVE PERSON?

>> I AM NOT A BIG OLIVE PERSON, BUT DOING IT TODAY.

>> I RESPECT THAT.

I FEEL LIKE I NEED A LITTLE GREEN ON TOP, GARNISH.

IT IS SO PRETTY.

THESE LOOK AMAZING AND I WANT TO EAT THEM, BUT WHAT IS ONE MORE THING YOU WOULD WANT PEOPLE TO KNOW ABOUT THE STREETLIGHT GUILD?

>> I THINK OF IT AS A PLACE WERE ARTIST OF ALL TYPES, EVERY DISCIPLINE, CAN COME TO CREATE THE THINGS THAT THEY CANNOT DO OTHER PLACES, TO PERFORM THE SONGS THEY CANNOT PERFORM WITHOUT WORRYING ABOUT IF THE BAR WILL MAKE MONEY.

THE EXHIBIT THEY CANNOT PUT ON ANYWHERE ELSE.

WE WILL GO THROUGH GREAT PAINS TO REALIZE THE VISION OF AN ARTIST.

WE WILL RE-CREATE THAT GALLERY INTO YOUR MOTHER'S KITCHEN, INTO AN ESCAPE ROOM, WHATEVER YOUR ART NEEDS TO BE FREE.

WE JUST WANT TO SEE WHAT YOUR ART LOOKS LIKE WHEN THE ARTIST IS MOST FREE.

>> THAT IS INCREDIBLE, YOU DO NOT GET THAT A LOT OF PLACES.

LET'S TAKE A BITE.

THANK YOU FOR BEING HERE, SCOTT.

>> THIS HAS BEEN A REAL TREAT.
