ImageOHIO/FotoFocus Biennial Exhibition: Franklinton Across Time: The Floodplain Imagination

This exhibition explores Franklinton, one of Columbus's oldest neighborhoods, through the eyes of contemporary artists. The show traces how this area has transformed over time—from its earliest days through periods of hardship and change, to today's art-driven renewal. Artworks on display respond to Franklinton's complex history and the sense of community and belonging that residents and visitors experience there. The exhibition runs through early November, giving families time to visit and learn about this significant part of Columbus's story. This is a thoughtful choice for older kids and teens interested in local history, urban development, or contemporary art. The exhibition invites visitors to think critically about how neighborhoods change and what those changes mean for the people who live in them. It's an accessible way to engage with important themes about Columbus's past and present through visual storytelling.
