Exhibit Columbus
Exhibit Columbus is an exploration of community, architecture, art, and design that activates the modern legacy of Columbus, Indiana. It creates a two-year cycle of programming that uses the context of Columbus to convene conversations around innovative ideas and then commissions site-responsive installations to create a free, public exhibition that demonstrates the power of art and architecture to make cities better places to live for everyone.
Two-Year Cycle of Events
Symposium
The Symposium places the modern legacy of Columbus into a global perspective through presentations and conversations between professionals and community leaders, while serving as inspiration for, and introduction to, participants making work in the exhibition. It acts as a convenor of people and ideas around Columbus and its cultural heritage.
Design Presentations
The Design Presentations build excitement for the Exhibition and provide an opportunity for our community to experience the design process first-hand. In an open and public format, participants present their installation concepts for the upcoming exhibition and receive community feedback.
Exhibition
The Exhibition features site-responsive installations created by participants (architects, designers, academics, artists, and graphic designers). They create experiences that use Columbus’ heritage as inspiration and context, while highlighting the role that a visionary community plays in growing a vibrant, sustainable, and equitable city.
