For decades, Senator Hearcel Craig has led with purpose, passion, and an unshakable commitment to the people of Central Ohio. As the proud representative of Ohio’s 15th Senate District, his legacy is rooted in public service, principled leadership, and a bold vision for stronger neighborhoods, expanded opportunity, and thriving communities.
A champion for education, equity, and economic empowerment, Senator Craig understands that the arts are not a luxury but the heartbeat of a vibrant community. His advocacy has consistently elevated policies that uplift culture, protect history, and create pathways for future generations to succeed.
The King Arts Complex has been honored to count Senator Craig as a steadfast partner and supporter throughout his tenure. He has championed our mission, advocated for our growth, and recognized the vital role we play in preserving and advancing African American arts, history, and culture.
We encourage your generous participation and hope you will be able to enjoy the event with us. If you need any additional information, please contact Linda Broadnax at the King Arts Complex at 614 645-0635.
