Exhibit Columbus Transforms Downtown
Columbus, Indiana is well-known for everywhere art and unexpected architecture.
World class art and architecture surround the city, including works designed by world-renowned designers including Eliel and Eero Saarinen, Robert Venturi, I.M. Pei and Dale Chihuly.
Art and design flourish within the culture of this community, making it a beautiful place to call home and bringing in thousands of visitors each year from all over the US and around the globe.
This year’s Exhibit Columbus, the second iteration of the acclaimed exhibition of temporary architectural installations is happening now through December 1, 2019, and consists of 18 installations, located throughout downtown Columbus. Designers were asked to center their work around the theme of “Good Design in the Community,” highlighting that good design can improve people’s lives and make cities a better place to live.
Artists were encouraged to think about what it would be like to live and work in Columbus, Indiana, and how the new installations being produced for the 2019 exhibition will impact those who interact with them.
Each artist included in the 2019 exhibition was challenged to provide a plan for how the materials of the artwork could be used after the exhibition comes to an end. This year’s “Exhibit Columbus” features several botanical installations. For example, “Into the Hedge,” designed by SO-IL and located at the Bartholomew County Courthouse, includes 150 trees that will later be planted at Miller House and Garden.
