Greater Columbus: The 2026 Greater Columbus Arts Council Visual Arts Awards Exhibition

This is an annual showcase celebrating visual artists in the Columbus area. The exhibition features paintings, sculptures, photographs, and other artworks selected through a competitive awards process by the Greater Columbus Arts Council. Families can stroll through galleries at their own pace, viewing diverse artistic styles and discovering local creative talent. It's a relaxed, welcoming way to introduce kids to contemporary art and support the community's artists—no special knowledge needed, just curiosity and an appreciation for creativity.
