Exhibit Columbus kicks off fifth cycle with event today

Exhibit Columbus is kicking off its next two-year cycle with an event today where the new curatorial partners for the project will be introduced.

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.

Richard McCoy with Landmark Columbus Foundation said that the curatorial partners are tasked with creating the theme of this cycle of the biennial event. The homes of the five partners and their agencies range from Indianapolis and Illinois to North Carolina and Mississippi.

McCoy said the team is reimagining how “Exhibit Columbus can be used to explore challenges in the heart of one of America’s most celebrated design cities.”

This is the fifth two-year cycle for Exhibit Columbus, which launched in 2016.

The community kickoff event will be from 3 to 5 p.m. today at Helen Haddad Hall on Franklin Street.
