COLUMBUS, Ind. — Exhibit Columbus’ curatorial partners have announced the curatorial theme for the 2024–25 cycle of events: “Yes And.”
It originates from an improv theater technique and is an effort to use existing material to shape positive change.
This theme will drive all aspects of Exhibit Columbus, including the 2024 Symposium (Oct. 24-25), Design Presentations (Feb. 21-22, 2025), and the Exhibition (Aug. 15—Nov. 30, 2025). All three events will be free and open to the public and will take place in downtown Columbus.
“Yes And” is the fifth cycle of Exhibit Columbus, first launched in 2016 as a program of the nonprofit Landmark Columbus Foundation. Exhibit Columbus is an internationally recognized exploration of community, architecture, art, and design.
The program celebrates and advances Columbus’s Modernist architectural legacy through a two-year cycle of events.
The curatorial partners form the core of the curatorial team and are charged with creating and advancing the theme of this cycle of Exhibit Columbus. They have notable backgrounds, representing a depth of experience in architecture, history, design, writing, and performing arts. Each curator has worked with people and within groups to bring a thoughtful and artistic approach to collaborating within diverse communities.
“This is an opportunity for us to demonstrate how civic life is additive and when most successful, affirming and deeply cooperative,” said the curatorial partners in a press release statement. “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.”
