ArtPaths

ArtPaths is an art walkway program that features 23 unique artworks created by Columbus College of Art & Design students on over 400 construction barricades that line streets throughout the Short North Arts District. As the barriers will move virtually daily as a part of the City of Columbus’ High Street Streetscape Improvements Project, the artworks were created so that no matter how the barriers are shifted or configured, the artwork will be seen and a cohesive story will be told. Artworks will be installed beginning on mid February and early March, and will be up in the District throughout 2018.

 

ArtPaths is made possible in part by state tax dollars allocated by the Ohio Legislature to the Ohio Arts Council (OAC). The OAC is a state agency that funds and supports quality arts experiences to strengthen Ohio communities culturally, educationally, and economically.
