Exhibit Columbus opening party tickets going fast

Tickets are selling briskly for the Exhibit Columbus exhibition opening party Aug. 24 under a tent in Mill Race Park in downtown Columbus.

In fact, organizers say more than 300 seats have been sold for the event that sold out at 700 people for the inaugural exhibition in 2017. And this year, the tent for the gathering can be easily expanded beyond that 700 total, organizers have said.

The $175-per-person event will feature a cocktail reception, dinner, and live entertainment by Chicago-based rhythmic quintet, Dos Santos.

The Exhibit Columbus exhibition, titled “Good Design and Community,” will be Aug. 23 to Dec. 1 with 18 temporary installations. The free event, held every other year, focuses on art, architecture and design, and uses new, pop-up installations from the world’s leading designers to highlight existing structures and landscapes in a city known globally for its Modernist legacy.
