Ready to see the art of Columbus through someone else’s eyes? The Painting Promise tour was curated by April Sunami, who had this to say about the tour: “These murals not only nourish my soul but also bring me immense joy. Located in community-centric spaces and adorned with vibrant colors, these artworks evoke a sense of happiness, inspire hope for the future, cultivate peace, and elevate my mood every time I lay eyes on them. I hope they have a similar uplifting effect on you.” For more info, head over to columbusmakesart.com.

As a person who lived in Columbus at the time, I can say with absolutely certainty that the 1990s were a whole vibe.

And if you aren’t wondering because like myself, you lived it, then this video is still an absolute must watch because it’s so fantastically nostalgic.
