Last night, we had a special treat at our Fort Happy Hour: Allison of .press taught us how to use an antique letterpress at to make Valentine's cards! It's always fun to gather with our community to connect & make things together. ♥️

Wishing everyone a very happy holiday season, and special thanks to for the lovely photos from our annual tenant holiday party this year.

As we plan to enter a new year, we are filled with gratitude for the community we have here at The Fort. Our holiday party was the largest yet-- a testament to the incredible value of bringing creative people together. Thank you to everyone who has been and continues to be on this journey with us. And here's to continued growth for us all in 2025!

Farewell to Dylan, The Fort’s creative director.

Dylan and Drew Collins (bondcolumbus.com) worked with Justin McAllister to name The Fort in 2018. Since then, Dylan designed and developed the brand from his Menges Design studio at 2000 South High.

In his words: “When we talk about The Fort, it’s about the buildings—truly unique spaces. But the best part of The Fort is the people. I stayed here longer than I expected to be with the makers who bring their good energy to this place every day.”

Dylan and Janet have moved out of Columbus, and he will focus on BibleProject.com and a special project called Future Astronauts.
