Bellows, Legos and Nominees

Columbus Museum of Art

George Bellows is one of Ohio's most well known artists. Having grown up in Columbus and then going to Ohio State University, the Columbus Museum of Art has a plethora of Bellows work. The works range from his college drawings at OSU, paintings while he was in New York and his famous lithographs. Be sure to see all this and more before January 5 when the exhibit is done!

After you're done looking at Bellows, or if 2D works aren't your style, be sure to check out the 'Think Outside the Brick"  Lego exhibit that is up until the 16 of February. It is presented by the CMA's Center for Creativity and has plenty of hands on activities as well as a collaborative exhibit of new works built entirely out of Legos. Remember, Sundays are free admission!
