COLUMBUS, GA.- The Bo Bartlett Center, an ambitious project fifteen years in the making, opened today at CSU’s Corn Center. Designed by Seattle-based architect Tom Kundig of Olson-Kundig, the 18,500 square foot facility will serve as a center for art and creativity that is at once a national arts institution and a community-based service organization, as well as exhibition space for both regional and national artists. In addition to featuring a retrospective of Columbus native and celebrated American Realist painter Bo Bartlett’s large scale works, some of them never-before-exhibited, an ancillary group show opened titled Peers & Influences in the Center’s Visiting Artist’s Gallery that is adjacent to the Main Gallery.
