COLUMBUS, Ind. – Exhibit Columbus has announced the curatorial theme for the 2024–25 cycle of events: Yes And. This theme will drive all aspects of Exhibit Columbus, including the 2024 Symposium (October 2024), Design Presentations (February 2025), and the Exhibition (August 15-November 30, 2025). All three events will be free to the public and take place in downtown Columbus.
Yes And is the fifth cycle of Exhibit Columbus, first launched in 2016 as a program of the nonprofit organization Landmark Columbus Foundation. It is an internationally recognized exploration of community, architecture, art, and design celebrating the modern legacy of Columbus through a two-year cycle of events.
“This is an opportunity for us to demonstrate how civic life is affirming and deeply cooperative,” said the Curatorial Partners. “For the fifth cycle, we’re excited to collaborate with the distinct communities of Columbus to demonstrate how this work can be a model and resource for cities worldwide.”
Originating in improv theater, Yes And is a technique for affirming and building upon an idea to create a shared narrative. It is a participatory call to work from existing material to shape positive change.
The Landmark Columbus Foundation invites organizations and businesses to submit a statement of interest to be an Exhibit Columbus Community Partner and host a University Design Research Fellows or a High School Design Team installation in downtown Columbus.
