Exhibit Columbus 2025 Exhibition: Yes And

Join us in downtown Columbus, Indiana, on Friday, August 15, and Saturday, August 16, for the Opening Weekend of Yes And, the 2025 Exhibit Columbus Exhibition.

This free, two-day series of events marks the debut of thirteen new outdoor, site-responsive installations created by leading architects, artists, and designers in collaboration with community partners from across Columbus.

The exhibition has been built with partnerships across the diverse communities of Columbus and connected to the theme of the 2024–25 Cycle, Yes And. The modern design legacy serves as a world-class backdrop for living, creating an unmatched experience alongside contemporary art and architecture.

Throughout the weekend, five signature events will enliven downtown with guided tours, conversations, celebrations, and installation activations. All events are free and open to the public.

The 2025 Exhibition will be on view from August 16–November 30, 2025.
