50/50, A Community Art Project at 411 Gallery is a testament to our community's artistic talent. This annual showcase brings together a broad spectrum of creatives, from emerging voices to seasoned artists, each contributing a unique perspective. Through a vibrant mix of mediums, styles, and themes, 50/50 captures the range of visual expression within Columbus.
A theme of "place" has naturally emerged, reflecting the deep influence of our surroundings on local artists. Many works draw inspiration from Columbus’s built environment—its celebrated architecture and modern design legacy—while others are rooted in our area's natural landscape. This dialogue between the designed and natural worlds reflects a profound connection that people feel to this place, inviting viewers to experience the spirit of Columbus through the eyes of its artists.

411 Gallery is typically booked about two years into the future and has a long list of artists who want to exhibit their work. We curate the shows with much intention, selecting artists whose work connects to an exhibition theme or something happening within the community or who we know will be a draw to the gallery.
How to be invited to exhibit:
1. Attend and participate in what we're doing
2. Plug into our local artist community
3. Create good work! (practice, adapt, practice, adapt)

About the Gallery
411 Gallery is a community arts gallery and cultural space for exhibitions, events, and collaborations. Managed by the Columbus Area Arts Council, 411 Gallery is located in downtown Columbus on the 6th Street Arts Alley, a creative hub at the heart of the city.
Managed by the Columbus Area Arts Council, 411 is made possible by grants from the Efroymson Family Fund, City of Columbus, Columbus Museum of Art & Design and by donations from the community.
Community Studio
The 411 Community Studio is a flexible space for youth arts and emerging creatives to work, meet and collaborate. Made of custom plywood panels and built-in furniture, the space is meant to evolve as artists work with the community to reimagine the exhibition wall into temporary installations. The Community Studio is part of the Columbus Area Arts Council's inaugural residency project and was made possible through generous support from Heritage Fund: The Community Foundation of Bartholomew County.
