Reviews of Urban Arts Space

I attended my first event here a few weeks ago—a moving performance art show where dancers and a live musician expressed their ideas of home and our connection to the environment (the show was called "fault lines"). Abstract art confuses me at times, but being in the space itself with other people made this a communal experience. There was also a fun interactive activity before the performance, where we were invited to create our own collage from magazine photos. The staff were all incredibly welcoming and helpful throughout the experience. You can tell they love their jobs and working with the community. The space itself is housed in the historic Lazarus Building, which was built in the Art Nouveau style, as you can tell from the door design. It's a spacious gallery with a number of shows throughout the year. There's also a lovely coffeeshop nearby called Parable that I've visited a few times. I highly recommend going to the UAS if you want a taste of the Columbus arts scene!

Went for a job event. Very open area for an event. Very interesting modern art.

My visit was in July of 2019, the space itself is small, but it was free so it is understandable. My friends and I spent around 20-30 minutes walking through the gallery. Some art was... Meh. But there is a considerable portion that is well worth your time. I can't say if that will always be the case, but it was when I went. Overall, enjoyable experience. Go if you have the time.

More people of Columbus should be aware of the Urban Arts space. Walking out of the Columbus Commons and across the street, I had a difficult time finding the location, but once you begin passing the windows which shine down into the lower level of the space proper it becomes easily discoverable. Located in a nicely covered entryway, the arts space itself hosts functions, student work, and other artistic events throughout the year. Keep an eye out for emerging artists, museum pieces, special events, and more - all brought together by the various art related disciplines at The Ohio State University.

I often visit the OSU Urban Arts Space when I am in downtown Columbus. Located in the former East Basement of the former Lazarus Building, the OSU Urban Arts Space features high-quality art exhibits that have been curated by The Ohio State University College of the Arts. It is wonderful to be able to view such high-quality and innovative art in downtown Columbus. In addition to being open much of the time during the day [except on Sundays and Mondays] the OSU Urban Arts Space hosts special events such as opening receptions and other events. The bathrooms for the OSU Urban Arts Space are located off of the entrance hallway [halfway between the gallery and the alley]; staff members who are working at the entrance desk are always happy to unlock that bathroom when necessary.

Awesome art space. There is usually much variety of artwork which I appreciate. Parking along Front St seemed to be a good option. Consider visiting the Scioto Mile to make an event out of a visit

Absolutely loved the exhibit on Religious Sounds ...pretty interesting concept ..

I attended a session of the monthly Crafternoon series the UAS puts on for free. This is a free event for adults (nothing adult themed, just an outlet to do artsy projects with other grownups without little ones interrupting) that provides instructions and supplies to complete various crafts (usually incorporating themes of reuse/upcycling). It was fun as always with both great instructors and instructees in attendance.

The Urban Arts Space is a nice little out reach of OSU's art department. Keep an eye on it for regular gallery changes, art + craft classes for all ages (which are often free), and other events.

Urban Art Space features works from a diverse art community. Also offers tours to rooftop garden. Admission is free. Staff is friendly and knowledgeable.

A noteworthy space for art, often overlooked. Don't judge by the OSU in its name; their programming is far beyond the typical student shows you might expect.

Dr. Zapata

This is a nice gallery, the exhibition they had this time was nice. From a black artist, very colorful and pretty. I do recommend the place.

I admire all of the talent that is showcased. They do change the art/ inventions around, but it just depends. Really cool seeing such creative and brilliant ideas.

Walk up has a 50s deco feel. Student's art exhibit in a interesting space.

Teresa Kerr

Great day admiring osu student art work!

This place showed MY art, so it might not be THAT great- but 4.875 stars isn't an option. That the only time I ever questioned their curatorial prowess.
