The Wexner Center for the Arts at The Ohio State University in Columbus opened its spring 2026 exhibitions on February 13 with a free public celebration featuring gallery access beginning at 4 p.m., a cash-bar happy hour at 5 p.m., and a moderated artist conversation at 5:30 p.m. in the Film/Video Theater.

The evening’s centerpiece was a conversation with artists Martina Droth, Ximena Garrido-Lecca, and Naeem Mohaiemen, moderated by Wexner Center curator Rebecca Lowery. All three artists are featured in the center’s spring 2026 exhibitions. The free event, open to all audiences with ticket registration, offered the public an opportunity to engage directly with the artists and their work at the start of the season’s programming.

The Wexner Center, located at 1871 North High Street on the Ohio State University campus, operates Tuesday through Sunday with extended Thursday hours until 9 p.m. The center functions as a national and international platform for contemporary arts, with exhibition, film, performing arts, and artist residency programs running throughout the year.
