Columbus Cultural Arts Center Announces October Events
COLUMBUS – The Columbus Cultural Arts Center (CAC) has announced its October 2021 events.
Exhibitions
Art and Jazz
Oct. 8-Nov. 1; Main Gallery
Visual artist Karin Dahl and composers Chris Berg, Brian Cashwell and Michael Cox explore how art and music combine to enhance meaning – showing that music plus art is more than either medium alone. This exhibition will include abstract paintings accompanied by original musical compositions. Ucelli: The Columbus Cello Quartet will also be performing in the exhibition space Oct. 15 at 7 p.m.
Opening Night: Friday, Oct. 8
Instagram Live virtual walkthrough: TBA
Masks
Oct. 8-Nov. 13; Loft Gallery
In this exhibition, artists Barbara Vogel and Marge Bender have joined forces to create one-of-a-kind masks that highlight the impact COVID-19 has had on our day-to-day interaction with individual faces. Masks range from silly to sinister, with what was originally planned to be a “thing of the past” retrospective to something still ever so present within our society.
Opening Night: Friday, Oct. 8
Instagram Live virtual walkthrough: TBA
