Exhibit Columbus symposium to start Oct. 24th

Exhibit Columbus will be holding its symposium next week, the highlight of the first half of its two-year cycle of events culminating in installations around the city next year.

Exhibit Columbus works in two year cycles, with a symposium year of planning and discussions with selected designers, followed by a year with installations at various architectural and significant locations around the city. This is the fifth two-year cycle for Exhibit Columbus, which launched in 2016.

The theme of this year’s Exhibit Columbus is “Yes and”, a phrase used by storytellers and improv artists to encourage more conversation and creativity.

The symposium will be October 24th and 25th, at three key locations downtown — The Commons, Crump Theatre and First Christian Church. There will also be visits to the sites where the Miller Prize winners will be creating installations next year. Those will include installations at The Crump Theatre, the former Irwin Block Building, the Jackson Street Parking Garage and the sunken courtyard at First Christian Church.

The symposium will start at 9 a.m. Thursday, October 24th at The Commons with a keynote presentation by the Miller Prize recipients.

Registration is free and includes the presentations and a comedy showcase.
