3 Best Performing Arts in Columbus, Ohio
Sorry! We don't have any recommendations for Columbus right now.
Most of Columbus's hot spots are clustered around the Ohio State University campus (expect crowds when the OSU Buckeye football and basketball teams play) and the downtown neighborhoods around the Short North, the Arena District, and the Brewery District.
Two free weekly newspapers—the Other Paper, and Columbus Alive!—have complete listings of goings-on in the city.
Value City Arena
Value City Arena at the Jerome Schottenstein Center is home court for Buckeye basketball and home ice for hockey. Concerts and touring productions as diverse as the Three Tenors, Simon and Garfunkel, and Sesame Street Live also use the space.
Wexner Center for the Arts
In a dramatic building designed by Peter Eisenmann, the Wexner Center for the Arts houses contemporary art—including performance art and mixed-media works. The cabaret-style theater features intimate concerts, rarely screened movies from independent film makers, and discussions or lectures with filmmakers, artists, and performers.
