Announcing EXIT 68, a Music CD Release! Over the years, the Columbus Area Arts Council has invited the region's best entertainers to perform for programs such as the Jazz Festival, Ethnic Expo, Bluegrass Festival, JCB NeighborFEST! and Chautauqua of the Arts. EXIT 68 features some of the finest artists who have participated in these programs.

EXIT 68, which refers to the Columbus exit off I-65, offers the music of Tim Grimm, Special Consensus, Seven Nations, Governor Davis, Steve Allee, Gordon Bonham, Carl Storie, Cathy Morris, Tad Robinson, Dog Talk, Max Allen, Conga Jazz The Quartet, Mike Milligan, Jim Ryser, and the comedy of Heywood Banks.

This first time compilation CD created by the Arts Council will be available at the end of July at various retail stores and Arts Council events for a purchase price of $10. The proceeds from the sale of the CD will be used to continue offering low cost and free programming to the community.
