Kicking off the Year in Color: The Opening of "Vibrant Year"
An Afternoon of Color and Community
The Columbus Art Gallery was filled with color, conversation and community during the opening reception of Vibrant Year, a mixed media exhibit by artist Yaramis "Yara" Ramos. The afternoon marked the debut of a bold and expressive body of work while also serving as a celebration of creativity, culture, and connection within the Trax Creative District and a meaningful way to kick off the new year.

Through vibrant color and mixed media techniques, the exhibit invites viewers to reflect and engage with the artwork on a personal level, making each visit a unique experience.
