934 Gallery — Attraction in Columbus

I've visited this gallery a few times over the years and have thought it was a lovely place. Now I cannot even word the disappointment I have with this gallery. 3 wonderful local artists painted a mural that pays homage to Latin culture with a goddess who represents fertility. It is a nude mural but it was not graphic at all. Everything was fine with the mural until the day after Latino Heritage month was over (such interesting timing). They have disrespectfully covered the art with some sort of Halloween prop. As an artist myself, I will now NEVER submit my art here and encourage other artists (ESPECIALLY if you are BIPOC) to do the same. I would never want to be apart of a gallery that censors art and ESPECIALLY in such a disrespectful way. By doing that, art begins to lose it's meaning. Racism in 2022 is not it and I will not be returning to this gallery...

This is my favorite gallery in Columbus. It's a little off the beaten track, but well worth the visit, especially on gallery opening nights. They always have a fresh collection of artists that veers a bit away from Columbus trends but is generally of very high quality. They have also been a fantastic force in the arts and music community for years, as the original home of What? Fest and a variety of other organizations and events. Their space is clean and bright, they always serve great snacks and local brews at openings, and when the weather is nice they open their garage door to the outside, which is a wonderful gritty-cool compound of graffiti art and hangout space. They even have a small garage space that they use for special exhibitions with some cool technology/projection works from time to time. A gem...

Have been to several art shows at the 934, along with a small weekend summer festival last year. Great art work and music performances. Always a big crowd even with small shows... and always get to meet the artists! Excited about the next...
