Columbus officials are preparing to move the Bryony Roberts’ “Soft Civic” Exhibit Columbus installation from the City Hall Plaza and lawn for a very holiday reason — Christmas.
As is tradition, the city’s Department of Public Works is busy finalizing the selection of a Christmas tree that is normally placed in the center of the city hall plaza in front of the entry doors, which would place it right in the middle of “Soft Civic.”
Instead, “Soft Civic” will be dismantled next week and moved to the Columbus Municipal Airport, where Airport Director Bryan Payne said it will be placed in front of the terminal building to make room for the city’s Christmas tree.
“This came to us relatively quickly,” Payne said of the planned move of the exhibit. “I had said that if there was ever a reason that one of the art pieces didn’t have a home, we would like to have it to create a new destination for the Columbus AirPark.”
