Past Exhibitions

Columbus College of Art & Design’s Canzani Center Gallery hosts curated exhibitions as well as exhibitions that showcase the work of the college. From early 2007 until 2011 Bureau for Open Culture (an initiative of James Voorhies, then CCAD director of exhibitions) organized on-site and off-site programming. Exhibitions organized by the Bureau for Open Culture will link to its website.

The college has also hosted the regional scholastics awards, which are shown in January.
