​MILO ARTS

...Continued from yesterday:
     This past Friday night Theresa and I were at 934 Gallery, part of  the  arts campus known as Milo Arts located in the downtown Columbus Milo-Grogan neighborhood for the opening night of "Gridlock," the installation of  artist Elizabeth Nelson (See previous post, "Gridlock" by Elizabeth Nelson: "The Only True Thing About Art Is That It's Deception.")  
Picture
      During the course of the evening I got into a conversation with a couple of members of the friendly gallery staff, Liz, President of the Milo Arts Board of Directors, and Susan, a volunteer and mother of one of the the Milo Arts artists..
      Susan, left, and Liz, right.

      Though I already knew that there was an artists' community in the Milo-Grogan neighborhood, I wasn't familiar with the scope of the campus. Liz and Susan, however, were my cordial guides to all things Milo Arts.
     Liz enlightened me on the provenance of the ubiquitous wall murals, a current exhibit of the winners of a juried competition.

      The murals will be painted over when the time comes for the next 934 Gallery exhibit, "Home."  
Picture
      However the Milo community is currently in the midst of preparations for the upcoming 934 Fest, the gallery's annual outdoor arts and music festival and fundraiser. 
Picture
      Liz gave me a tour of the Milo grounds and the showed me the buildings, used for exhibits, classes, recording, and storage,

       Canvases for an up-coming mural-painting class.

      She gave me a run-down of some the features of 934 Fest, which will include artists, among whom will be thirty-seven muralists who will turn the walls of these buildings into "Mural Alley."
Picture
     There will also be musicians, comedians, word performers, yoga, a high school mural class, food trucks, and a giant sculpture erected between these two buildings.
Picture
     After my  tour with Liz, Susan took me across the way to have a look at the building where the Milo artists live.
Picture
      The Milo artists' community house is a former school built in the 1800's for the children of the Milo-Grogan neighborhood. In the 1980's the building was transformed into an artists' colony, an affordable space for artists to live and work in community.

      There is a community garden tended by the residents,

...and a little park for the resident dogs,

...and sculptures around the yard.
Picture

Picture
      It all had a very vie bohème look.
Picture
      We retuned to 934 Gallery, and Susan invited me to come back sometime for a tour of the interior of the artists' building.
Picture
     I just might.
