I kinda agree with luchobucho
has anyone talking actually been to the short north?
Gallery hop? how many actual galleries are there?
Sure good for Columbus but.... I think "arts district" is limiting
I don;t want people to come to gallery hop and actually think they are looking at art a lot of the time
I think it may even do a disservice
why can't other places be an arts district
shit there are a lot of artists that live in Clintonville that seems to hold some weight I think I am going to call that an arts district... in fact maybe I'll call Olde Towne East an arts district too
why not GV has a lot of galleries
for that matter lets call the area surrounding CCAD and the Columbus museum an arts district the saturation of REAL artistic expression is much higher in that "district" then the short north
I am not even a big fan of CCAD and I support that area baring the name arts district more then the short north at this point
hell artists can barely afford to live in the Short North anymore
I mean... what the jesus
since when is G&Co, Dr.MoJoe, Press Grill... Marcella's, MoJoe loune, Hyde Park... ummm Planet Smoothie whatever I would have to name 95% of the establishments in the Short North if I were to name all of them that have nothing to do with art
I think we need to save art from the short north
expand it to new areas
enrich Columbus as a whole
