Exhibit Columbus is a program of Landmark Columbus Foundation and embodies its mission by being a locally responsive and globally engaged proponent for the modern heritage of Columbus. Through symposia, exhibitions, public events and guided tours, online and print publications, and educational activities, Exhibit Columbus interprets Columbus’ design heritage and engages a diverse public of community members, students, professionals, and enthusiasts.
Symposium
2017 Symposium inside the sanctuary at First Christian Church.
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
MASS Design Group presents their installation concept presentation on stage at The Commons at the 2018 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.
