We are honoring and preserving the memory and spirit of our dear friend Ray Hanley. Ray Hanley was a enigmatic visionary who ran the Greater Columbus Arts Council for over 25 years. He had a relentless commitment to nurturing a vibrant arts community and will be remembered for his generosity and loyalty to his friends and staff. The events and parties Ray held at his home in Victorian Village are legendary. His long rectangular living room with hard wood floors and sparse furnishings had walls filled with some of the best work from local, prominent and emerging artists. It was an art gallery, as was the rest of his home. The guest list to numerous parties held there usually included heads of local arts organizations, some of the best Columbus artists, politicians and close friends alined with the arts. Rigsby’s Kitchen was the preferred caterer. We named Ray’s Living Room after Ray Hanely when we opening our gallery/event space in the spring of 2010. It was our way of keeping alive the spirit of our good friend and bon vivant. Coporate Events, Anniversaries, Rehearsal Dinners, Bar/Bat Mitzvahs, Birthday Parties, Wedding Receptions...
Catered by Rigsby’s Kitchen Ray’s Living Room presents the perfect venue for you next private event.
