Prologue
March 14, 2025
6:30–10:00 PM
Location: Columbus Museum of Art at The Pizzuti
Join CMA at The Pizzuti for the third evening of Prologue, a new program series engaging the past and future of CMA’s satellite location at 632 Park Street. This series offers visitors a sneak peek into The Pizzuti, where a new pop-up installation engages the building’s history as the former headquarters of a fraternal society that catered to traveling salespeople. The evening opens with a conversation at 7:00 PM between artists Julia Scher and Julia Weist, both of whom are featured in the installation.
From 8:00–10:00 PM, come out for Errant Forms X Nesting, a DJ series curated by Love Higher (Reg Zehner), who will perform at this final iteration of the series. Cash bar sponsored by Watershed Distillery.
This event is free with registration.
