2019 Exhibition

August 24 – December 1

Exhibit Columbus is an annual exploration of architecture, art, design, and community.

Columbus, Indiana is home to one of the most significant collections of modern architecture, art, and design in the world – consisting of more than 80 buildings, landscapes, and public works of art created by internationally celebrated creators.

Columbus’ most significant architectural investments have been made in schools, libraries, parks, civic amenities, health care facilities, and affordable housing. This remarkable design heritage remains a reflection of Columbus’ investment in design excellence, providing an ideal environment to explore how architecture, art, and design can improve people’s lives and make cities stronger.


Good Design and the Community

Experience the Exhibition

The exhibition features 18 site-responsive installations by architects, designers, academics, artists, and graphic designers. These designers have created outdoor installations and experiences that use Columbus’ built heritage as inspiration and context, while highlighting the role that visionary community plays in growing a vibrant, sustainable, and equitable city. The exhibition is free and open to the public.
