Looking forward to checking this show out! :D
So many cool things going on at the Wex this fall we're finally going to invest in membership! Normally we hit 3-4 events per year, but with the Studio Ghibli festival and this a membership is well worth it.

One of the many great things about the Wexner Center for the Arts is its ability to create innovative activities around the already amazing exhibits. The new Annie Leibovitz show is no exception.

Annie Leibovitz doesn’t often give interviews. Yet she was remarkably transparent and full of stories about her work when she led a group of media professionals on a tour of her new Wexner Center exhibition Friday morning. It was a rare opportunity to get inside the head of one of the world’s best-known photographers of the last 40 years.

I've been through the exhibition twice and it's very moving. It really connects you to people and certain points in your life.
The international press is great for Columbus and The Wex. I feel like The Wex has a bigger following outside of Columbus than within the city. Whether that's good or bad, I don't know, but hopefully that will change and this exhibition will open more eyes to this local institution.
