LUMINOUS

THE VITALITY OF COLUMBUS’ CREATIVE SCENE RANKED AMONG

THE NATION’S TOP 10 (Creative Cities International)

The Columbus local arts community offers incred- ible richness and diver- sity of experience. The visual arts

provide a colorful canvas for exploring the city. View the collections of the Columbus Museum of Art and the internationally

recognized exhibitions at the Wexner Center for the Arts to smaller galleries, artist cooperatives, public art and murals.

The Columbus area has produced an array

of world-class musical talent. Being home to the only remaining independently owned and operated alternative radio station in the top 100 markets (102.5 FM) helps incubate grassroots talent. Well-known music organizations include the

Columbus Symphony Orchestra, ProMusica Chamber Orchestra, Columbus Jazz Orchestra, and the nation’s largest resident theatre company, Shadowbox Live. From the classical productions of BalletMet, to Broadway and nationally touring shows, to emerging local theatre — and from meticulously restored theatres to outdoor venues — there truly is something for everyone’s taste. And we haven’t even touched on local bars

with live music, the summer-long festivals celebrating cultural diversity or monthly Gallery Hops. Whatever your group’s composition, there is a vibrant creative scene thriving in Columbus ready to be appreciated.
