Pieces from Exhibit Columbus will find new homes across the country and a little closer to home when the exhibition ends Dec. 1.
Dozens of public art pieces, large and small, have been part of the cityscape since they went up in late August. Anne Surak is the Artistic Director of Exhibit Columbus. She says future life of the pieces on display were considered from the very start.

Surak says pieces originally installed on the lawn of Columbus City Hall will find a new home near the growing area around the city’s airport.
"Being able to relocate that piece in this area that they were hoping to include more art in was like a really great afterlife of that project," she says.
Other pieces will leave the area altogether. Filament Tower, a 30 foot tall structure made of extremely lightweight composite, will end up at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville where it was created. DE|stress, an organic shaped archway made of 3-D printed concrete panels, will move to Connecticut.
Surak says even if some exhibits aren’t moved and placed elsewhere, there are plans to find second uses for the materials in those pieces.
In October of next year the city will hold its 3rd annual symposium, with the next exhibition slated for 2021.
