Block by Block - CBUS

In 2023, Block by Block - CBUS was conceived as a project that narrated the story of a single block through the collaborative efforts of six photographers who transformed the project from an idea to an exhibit within a week.

Building on this success, Block by Block is expanding to a year-long project in 2025, funded by the Greater Columbus Arts Council’s Artists Projects grant. This expanded project will feature nine blocks from various neighborhoods across Columbus and is open to all Central Ohio photographers.

Each month, we will organize a FREE photowalk that welcomes photographers of all skill levels. Participants will have the opportunity to capture images and explore the diverse landscapes of Columbus. At the end of nine months, participants are encouraged to submit their selected images for inclusion in a pop-up gallery event at Wild Goose Creative.

Selected participants will receive complimentary printing of their images, framing and matting supplies, and a small stipend to attend a training session on matting, framing, and installing their work for the show.*

This will ensure that you receive the first notification of photowalk dates, times, and locations. All photowalks are free to attend and do not require any registration.  Can’t make it to a specific scheduled walk?  Visit the block on your own schedule and you’ll still be eligible to be in the Fall 2025 exhibition.

*Attendance at the training session is mandatory for participation in the pop-up exhibition.
