Before the first Exhibit Columbus installation opened to its first accolade last summer, organizers theorized it could boast a global reach.

The latest proof has surfaced in Venice, Italy. The city serves as the home of the Venice Biennale of Architecture, the world’s largest art and architecture festival that attracts about half a million people every two years and opened Saturday.
The festival in Venice includes an architectural piece called Alchemy, an Exhibit Columbus work that Columbus native Bailey Stultz, 26, helped shape as a University of Cincinnati masters in architecture student. Stultz was part of the college’s 15-member team, directed by Terry Boling, associate professor of practice in the school’s architecture program.
“I realize this is something that most architects can only dream of,” Stultz said recently. “It’s been a whirlwind of a time.”
