Enjoying Fine Arts in Columbus

By Jenny Greg


From Greek Revival state buildings, a bunch of American and Western european art at Wexner Center, the headquarters of the Ohio Historical Society, and a Victorian museum Columbus arts are a focus for Ohio's capital. Recent examples of the humanities might be found at the Columbus Symphony Orchestra, BalletMet Columbus, Broadway Across America, Actors' Theatre, and Columbus Museum of Art. Each of these justifies the visitor's return on time devoted. Please read carefully and discover what fine arts in Columbus are all about.

The Columbus Symphony Orchestra, established in 1951, presents 14 classical and nine pops programs a season. The summer portion is dedicated to outside pops performances; the winter segment offers symphony in its home locale at the Ohio Theatre, a ground-breaking national landmark rebuilt from a wonderful old 1928 movie palace.

BalletMet Columbus, innovative and versatile, also lives at the Ohio Theatre where a 21 foot candelabrum and Spanish-Baroque design contribute to its opulence. One of the biggest dance companies in the United States, BalletMet Columbus tenders dance entertainment for all audiences besides providing accessible dance education and outreach programs for the community.

Another satisfied resident of the Ohio Theatre in Columbus is Broadway Across America, producer of live melodramatic events presented across Northern America. Almost all of these locales are Broadway hits on tour bringing the Big Apple and London stage to over 40 cities throughout the US and Canada. "West Side Story" and "Memphis" are two of the spring 2012 offerings in Columbus.

Actors' Theatre presents the conventional theater of Shakespeare and other playwrights to an out of doors audience from Memorial Day to Work Day in German Village at Schiller Park. This acting troupe, with its 30 year history, began on a wooden stage but , progressed to a permanent performance site in 1995. Outdoor shows are free; however , donations are inspired. The 31st season, beginning in May of 2012, will include Hickman's "Robin Hood", "The Merchant of Venice" and Goldoni's "The Servant of 2 Masters".

And eventually, The Columbus Museum of Art, which is located downtown, is on the National Register of Historic Places, and presents both early modern European and American art as well as modern art and photography. Interestingly , those rooms where pre-19th century paintings are hung use the salon style where art is hung above and next to each other. No stark white cubes in these galleries; instead , walls of various and intense colours are used to clarify the art. There is also an outside sculpture studio and a children's exhibit. Until May 2012 there's an exhibition titled "Monet to Matisse" which remembers the Columbus Bicentennial.
