Columbus Art Experiential Tours
Rediscover your creative talents at the Columbus Museum of Art. Explore the artistic heritage of the city as you learn about world-famous artist and Columbus native George Bellows. Take part in an exclusive behind-the-scenes art viewing experience and develop your drawing skills in the galleries. Or sign up for one of our Art Escapes tours.
Artist for a Day – $25
Become an artist for a day during this exclusive experience. Meet Aunt Fanny, the relative who inspired one of Columbus’ most celebrated artists, George Bellows, to pursue his career. Learn about how George rocketed to fame after turning down a contract with the Cincinnati Reds, then don white gloves as you examine works of art from CMA’s collection in a special viewing room. Next, journey into the galleries and put your creative skills to practice as you draw among paintings and sculptures.
