The C-Bus Color Wall Downtown Is The Happiest Photo Op In Town 📸

Sponsored by Decorative Arts Center Of Ohio and their new exhibition 2+3x18: Rooted in tradition from the Byzantine, Medieval, and Renaissance eras, diptychs (two-paneled pieces) and triptychs (three-paneled pieces) have been used to tell stories through the ages. This exhibition features 18 contemporary Ohio artists who have used the diptych and triptych to create remarkable stories, some focused on personal experiences and others on a life-long interest or idea. More info right here. 👩‍🎨🎨

Happy Friday! Chelsea here.

Is everybody ready for the weekend? Maybe it's because there's some awesome stuff going on, or maybe it's just because today is my birthday, but I'm so ready to enjoy a couple of days off. Before I dive into my weekend plans, I do want to make one joyful suggestion. Head downtown to the Columbus Color Wall, take some photos of your smiling faces, and have a little fun.

In a couple of weeks, one of my favorite Halloween-inspired celebrations will officially get started. This year's event will be a little different, but the biggest change is the Spooky Hollow Drive-In, where you can take the whole fam to enjoy 5 Halloween movies from the comfort of your own car.

934 Fest Is Going Down This Weekend, And Since It’s Virtual There’s No Good Reason Not To Attend

Okay, so we're finally talking about weekend plans. 934 Fest is one of my favorite annual festivals here in Columbus, and even though you'll have to watch virtually this year, it's still going down. There will be live music, comedy, spoken word, and all sorts of other incredible art to enjoy. You can snag all the details above.
