Temporary shades of gray

Our ART sign was looking a little different lately.

The once vibrant red sign (now 15 years old) towering over our campus had faded over the years to a light pink, so President Dr. Melanie Corn decided it was time for a facelift. “The ART sign is an important symbol of the college and the cityscape,” she said. So, for a few days, the sign was covered in a gray primer before we restored it to its red glory.

The ART sign is a legacy of former President Denny Griffith, who commissioned the structure to serve “as a beacon for the arts in Columbus and beyond." At 100 feet tall, 101 feet wide and 24,000 pounds, it has zero bad angles, whether it’s gray or red.
