The Columbus Funny Art Showcase is a live experience of visual art installations with comedic themes, where an immersive extension of the punchline is transformed into a physical comedy gallery. Guests are invited to explore the gallery to see art installations designed to spark laughter before a show even begins. The art itself is funny, weird, clever, or satirical, and the environment amplifies laughter the same way a comedy venue does.
We feature work created by:
Comedians and comedy writers experimenting in visual formats
Local and visual artists
Photographers, videographers, and designers turning comedic ideas into tangible art
Comedy-rooted creative voices and collaborators
The showcase is built to:
Feature art with comedic subject matter
Generate audience laughter during the gallery walk
Activate and amplify the venue space as part of the joke
Create shareable, captured moments
Strengthen community partnerships across art, comedy, and local culture
Dates:
Call for art: February 2 - February 13
Gallery Opening Night: March 13 (Franklinton Friday)
Gallery Final Night: April 25
Stay tuned for comedy shows happening throughout March and April!
