The Bo Bartlett Center

I've been to a couple events here, and I love the space. Bo Bartlett's work is wonderful, and I could take it in for hours. On top of that, there are works from his wife, and other artists in different areas of the center, and the space is easy to navigate. The terrace is beautiful as well.

It was nice to visit. The art may be viewed as controversial in modern times. In the 90s, the artist Bo Bartlett painted pictures of him as a black man although he is white. It wasn’t offensive to me just made me think of Get Out. I love that they showcase up and coming artist. My favorite piece was yarn art of a Native American. It’s free to attend but if possible please donate.

I love the Bo Bartlett Center. They put on such incredible shows and draw amazing artists and their work to Georgia allowing me to see some of my absolute favorite contemporary paintings that I never thought I would get a chance to see. 🤩 We are talking phenomenal art, here! You don't even have to go to New York! You can leisurely walk down Columbus River walk and see Bo Bartlett's world renown work any time they are open, for free! You might even get lucky and catch a day when Betsy Eby is playing her piano in the gallery, perhaps next to one of her beautiful encaustic paintings. You could go to one of their monthly figure drawing classes... Also free! ( Thank goodness! Because the first time I was there I had $0 and was about to be homeless myself... but I got to see work from artistic superstars, who I had longed to see in person for years and it was an absolute light in my life) Bo Bartlett Center provides support and art supplies/classes to the homeless, as well as local school children. I am so excited to see what they do next!

It is a Super Grand Art Gallery. Amazing 😍🤩😍🤩

Awesome show and installations!

Fun museum. Went to see the Apollo space photos. Really cool.

An amazing gallery with a urban feel that I'd compare to bigger cities alike. We loved the attached CSU local art side especially exciting hearing the sound of metal working and a glimpse of a young Picasso hard at work on a project. My kids and I would have loved to be able to watch them working but the area was understandingly of limits for safety. Also parents need to know there are some provocative and nude paintings upstairs in the Bo Bartlett gallery

FANTASTIC art museum! Top 10 places to visit in Columbus for either tourist or locals. It is always nice and relaxing and low key here. Staff at the desk are always super nice. The photos do NOT do justice to the size and prominence of the paintings. Good for kids, and adults and all in between. Also convenient to many other attractions downtown. I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND visiting!! 👍🏻👍🏻

Wry sophisticated and high quality art gallery in downtown Columbus. Check this place out!
