The perfect date night awaits at FYR Short North! Join us for our Dinner for Two special, available Monday through Wednesday beginning April 6. Three courses are available for $75.

The Black Madonna & Other Sacred Spaces is a multidisciplinary exhibition and cultural experience that centers healing, ancestral memory, and sacred creative practice within Black, Brown, and Indigenous communities.

Through visual art, installation, and public programming, the exhibition explores the Black Madonna as both symbol and portal—an archetype of protection, resilience, divinity, and maternal power across time and geography. Artists were invited to interpret “sacred spaces” expansively: as physical environments, interior landscapes, spiritual inheritances, and sites of resistance, rest, and restoration.

Presented by The Sacred Spaces Collective in collaboration with community partners like The Urban Arts Space, Wexner Center for the Arts, The Pollen Patch Columbus, and Straight Through, the exhibition will transform the gallery and community spaces into an immersive, reflective environment that prioritizes care, accessibility, and collective storytelling. Programming will include workshops, artist talks, and healing-centered gatherings that deepen engagement beyond the visual experience.

“Imagined Paradise: Bridging the Celestial and the Earthbound”, an inaugural feature exhibit by multimedia sculptural artist Dana Lynn Harper, marking the artist’s official debut as a part of Brandt Gallery’s dynamic roster.  The exhibit will feature a compelling selection of mixed-media sculptures that explore the intersection of memory, ritual, identity, spirituality, labor, and cultural inheritance. Composed of versatile materials such as paper clay, wood, plaster and glass, and often adorned and embedded with found objects, Harper’s works function as both objects of devotion and vessels for preserving family history.

“Imagined Paradise: Bridging the Celestial and the Earthbound” opens to the public Friday, August 7th, 2026, with an opening reception from 5-7:30pm.

The National Veterans Memorial and Museum (NVMM) will host Portraits of Courage: A Commander in Chief’s Tribute to America’s Warriors, a collection of original paintings by former President George W. Bush. The exhibition opens to the public on August 8, 2026.

The exhibition features more than 60 portraits of post-9/11 service members and Veterans, each one hand painted by President Bush and paired with a personal story of service, sacrifice, and resilience written by the former president.

The NVMM is open Thursday through Sunday, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.
