Exciting things are happening at the Columbus Museum of Art. Much of the Museum is currently under renovation and will be so until Autumn 2010. In the interim, in addition to Chihuly Illuminated, please enjoy collection favorites by Claude Monet, Pablo Picasso, George Bellows, Ann Hamilton, and many others.

This walk-in tour is free with admission and open to the public.

 

Experience the Columbus Museum of Art in your neighborhood! Art Around Town is a new, free program that brings authentic CMA works of art along with fun, artful activities to central Ohio communities. Each moth, Art Around Town will travel to a different community with a different work of art.

Lincoln Theater Art Around Town
Participants will enjoy the beautifully restored, historic Lincoln Theater and will create unique door signs using a variety of interesting materials, have fun with family gallery games, and compete against one another during Art Challenges. The Jazz Arts Group will provide musical performances and demonstrations. Best of all, participants will be inspired by Aminah Robinson's A Holy Place.

 

Visit the Art Challenges station in the galleries to participate in exciting, competitive games that highlight a CMA artwork or collection. Compete against friends or family members, or challenge scores posted by other visitors. Prizes are part of the fun, and one winner each week will earn a CMA gift certificate.

Come hear James Yood speak about Dale Chihuly's work in the context of other contemporary artists who sculpt glass and make use of light. Yood, a professor of Art History, Theory, and Criticism at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, has authored several books and writes frequently for magazine, including Artforum, Art and Auction, and GLASS. This is the 2009 Cunningham Lecture. Dr. Charles Cunningham was a longtime friend and generous supporter of the Museum. Admission is $5 for nonmembers and free for CMA members. Seating is limited. Please call 614.629.5947 to register in advance.

 

Share ideas, exchange conversation, and laugh during this docent-facilitated experience. Your family team may play games, embark on a scavenger hunt, or find a work of art that reminds the family of a fun group experience. Family Adventures are a great way to share quality time together. Registration requested, please call 614.629.5947.
