We have a couple of train fans in our family, so when we heard the latest exhibit at Dublin Arts…read morewas "Train Interpretations" by Frederick Ripley, we decided to stop by. By chance, we lucked out and visited while the artist himself was onsite. The staff were so friendly, greeting us as soon as we stepped inside and advised that the exhibit was set up on the first floor in a loop. The building is a former home and is quite lovely on its own, and then the council has done a great job organizing their exhibits to complement the building and make it easy to move around. We enjoyed looking at the wide variety of train photos from all around the country, and getting to chat with the artist was nice - he was great with kids too and had a little game for them to find where the photo on his business card was in the gallery. Outside, the grounds are beautiful too and the backyard goes down to the river. There's a nice parking lot available outside and admission is free. We will have to watch for future exhibits!

Convenient parking. Adorable gallery cat on site.

I have now taken two sessions of hand-building ceramics classes at the Peggy McConnell Arts Center…read moreand have enjoyed the experience thus far. The studio space itself is well-maintained, organized, and conducive to a productive and focused creative process. They offer all the tools you need to create and additional clay can be purchased throughout the session if needed. The selection of glazes that they offer to finish your projects are beautiful. Additionally, the Peggy McConnell Arts Center frequently hosts events and exhibitions that provide opportunities for students to showcase their work and connect with the local art community.

The theatre is intimate and there is no bad seat in the house. The chairs were comfortable too. Columbus is so lucky to have such great talent like Derek DiCenzo, Reggie Jackson and Robert Floyd. The Bobby Floyd Trio's show "All That Jazz" began with a documentary about this incredible photo taken for Esquire in 1958 Harlem that gathered together so many great jazz musicians. Bobby, Derek & Reggie rocked the stage with Dizzy, Sonny, Basie, Thelonious. The ticket prices are quite reasonable too.

We enjoyed our first visit to "The Wex." We had a bit of trouble finding the front entrance, as it…read moreis tucked away in the middle of campus and not very well marked. We ended up parking in the Campus South parking garage, and it was just a short walk over. Entrance was free. The current exhibits of modern art were abstract, and I found some of them a little challenging to understand. Nonetheless, I am glad this center exists and I do appreciate art in all its forms. Staff was very friendly and they have a cool gift shop with items you will likely not find anywhere else.

This is a really cool art gallery. It's free for OSU students…read more The exhibitions seem to mostly be modern art. Or at least that's all I've seen when I come. It's not a huge place, but it's worth your time. Give yourself maybe an hour to soak the whole thing in. The space itself is really open. They have security standing around as well. Probably because someone had used a gun to shoot and ruin some of the art work a few years ago. They have a coat check as well. I think because of safety. And I totally understand that. There is also a movie theatre in here for specific showings and a little cafe that is ever so popular, Heirloom. Anyway, thankful for free art galleries! It's a fun thing to do on campus.

The art center is a pretty important part of my personal history. We returned for a quick weekend and stopped into their holiday shop which was wonderful and picked up some unique Christmas gifts.

The art gallery is free and open to the public to browse and take in the art, and the classes that you can take here are varied and not super expensive. My family and I visited from out of town to tour the facility and peek into the gallery, but if I lived in the area, I would totally take advantage of the classes here. They offer glass blowing, ceramics, stained glass, oil painting, jewelry making, watercolor paining and lots more. The work space they have set up for classes is bright and airy, and there are lots of materials everywhere in the organized space. They have kilns and ovens for creating pottery and glass pieces, and the whole area is just super conducive to creativity. They have rotating exhibits that feature local and not-so-local artists, in a gallery that with everything from paintings to sculptures. It's a great space to just wander around and get inspired.
