First Thursdays Fall 2026

First Thursdays is a monthly gallery walk and open-studios event series celebrating Columbus's contemporary art scene. Families can expect to explore galleries, artist studios, and creative spaces throughout the city, with an arts-focused, community atmosphere. It's a casual, self-paced way to see what local and visiting artists are making right now—perfect for curious kids and parents who enjoy art without the formality of a traditional museum visit.
