The Bo Bartlett Center — Attraction in Columbus

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!

Recently, they showcased an excellent Russian realism exhibit, which I really enjoyed. I recommend this to anyone looking for a quality art experience...
