Since it's inception in 1989, Dublin Arts Council’s Art in Public Places program has garnered extensive local and national attention. Publications such as the New York Times and Landscape and Architecture Magazine have recognized this outstanding program. Dublin Arts Council's Art in Public Places program remains the only on going public art program in Ohio.
Dublin is a historic city located along the Scioto River, 20 minutes north of Columbus, Ohio's State Capitol. The City of Dublin's rich agricultural history dates back to the early seventeenth century. Modern Dublin is a progressive community that balances preservation and innovation with a remarkable commitment to all its residents. Dublin's governing body recognizes the role that the arts play in enriching the quality life. The City of Dublin has made a long-term commitment to Dublin Arts Council's Art in Public Places program. This partnership fosters the installation and development of public art in Dublin's many parks and public buildings.
Dublin Arts Center and its surrounding grounds are imbued with a tangible sense of history. Charles and Sadie Krumm built the French Eclectic styled house that overlooks the Scioto River in 1941. Later Eleanor Gelpi, a pioneering businesswoman and champion for the arts, developed the home and property into a Central Ohio showcase. The City of Dublin purchased this historic estate with the intention of turning the site into a cultural arts center.
The dawning of 2002 marks Dublin Arts Center's transition from private residence to community cornerstone. The rolling grounds that encircle Dublin Arts Center stretch down to the banks of the Scioto River. Thematic gardens and walking paths will eventually grace the property. Dublin Arts Center, including the surrounding landscape, is a public destination meant to nurture the artistic spirit of our community.
