    We all know that CBUS has a vibrant art scene — and we’re not just talking about the Columbus Museum of Art. One of our all-time favorite galleries? Columbus itself.

    The Capital City is home to a number of meaningful murals. Here’s where to find pieces that really paint a picture of our city.

    Chakra Mural | By Ryan Orewiler
    This colorful mural created by a local artist spans the entire side of this downtown building. It features seven different colors which represents the various chakras, a belief of seven specific energies within the body.

    Short North Summer Spray 2024 | By multiple artists
    This summer, the Short North Arts District held its annual Summer Spray where nine Ohio-based artists were tapped to create murals. All of the works are now on display in a row near W. Goodale St.

    Love Thy Neighbor | By Carly Mitchell
    This mural was recently updated after Hot Chicken Takeover opened inside the former Sweet Carrot space. Carly Mitchell was the original artist for the Sweet Carrot mural, and she was asked again to update the artwork for HCT.
