Exhibit endures
Another of the Exhibit Columbus installations will have a lasting home in Columbus. That’s welcome news.
“Theoretical Foyer,” a colorful paver artwork by artist Cody Hoyt, located at Seventh and Washington streets, has been accepted by the city. It was one of 18 installations featured during Exhibit Columbus downtown from August to November last year.
The exhibit drew 40,000 to 50,000 people last year, reigniting an interest in the city’s design legacy. The colorful “Theoretical Foyer” helped brighten the downtown landscape and will continue to do so.
High honors
Advance Placement exams are important because success on them can earn students college credit, which saves them time and money.

The state education department recently honored high schools for their success in getting students to pass Advance Placement exams, including Columbus North. It had 31 percent of the senior class earn either a 3, 4 or 5 score. Schools must have at least 25 percent of its graduating class earn such marks to be honored.
North earned the honor for fourth year in a row, a tremendous achievement for teachers involved with the AP program and a testament to how seriously the students take the exams.
Good gathering place
Ever since the Bartholomew County library system finished its $1.4 million revamping of the Cleo Rogers Memorial Library plaza four summers ago, the plaza has become a great place for entertainment in a cozy setting. The fifth annual Live on the Plaza on June 15 was another reminder of that.
String trio Time for Three thrilled attendees with their variety of songs, making for a fun evening in an intimate setting. The plaza is a great place to relax and enjoy the offerings — whether quiet reading on a lunch break or live music.
That’s a nice benefit, courtesy of the Columbus Area Arts Council, which presents the concerts.
