About Viewpoints
The Short North Alliance and 11 partner galleries and art institutions with the support of the City of Columbus' Create Columbus Commission present the second installation of the highly popular Short North Temporary Mural Series, titled Viewpoints: Murals by Young Professional Working Artists.
All participating artists are either young professional artists under the age of 40 or are young at heart emerging artists who regularly support and mentor artists under 40. The series as a whole showcases works that reflect the individual perspectives or viewpoints of these artists.
The murals are installed on the exterior brick facades of 11 buildings along High Street in the Short North Arts District. They are produced in partnership with Orange Barrel Media and consist of high resolution images of art works that are printed on vinyl and heat-adhered to buildings. The process results in a work of art that looks painted on the building.
The Viewpoints Murals are now on display in the Short North Arts District! Click here to download the Viewpoints Murals Map. Click here to learn more about the art and artists behind Viewpoints.
