Through our three program arms—Exhibit Columbus, Progressive Preservation, and Columbus Design Institute—we offer talks, tours, gatherings, and celebrations that connect our many communities with work that pursues design excellence and recognizes cultural heritage.
2025 is an Exhibit Columbus exhibition year, so this fall is especially full of opportunities to experience the installations, conversations, and events that make Exhibit Columbus a one-of-a-kind celebration of art, architecture, and community.
