With Thanksgiving just around the corner, gathering with family is top of mind for many of us, and the Columbus Museum has a new exhibit focused on families, especially those awkward moments.
The “Awkward Family Photos” exhibit promises to bring laughter, nostalgia and a celebration of imperfect moments that define family life.

The Columbus Museum, in Columbus, Georgia, is hosting the ‘Awkward Family Photos’ traveling exhibition from November 14th through January 7th.
The exhibition has been on the road since 2012 and the stop at the Columbus Museum will be its Georgia debut.
Described as a “lighthearted, family friendly” exhibition, ‘Awkward Family Photos’ features over 200 photos, each framed in vintage, period appropriate frames and including ‘Behind The Awkwardness’ stories from the families in each photo.

A Columbus native and recent UGA honors graduate has 5,000 reasons to celebrate.
Artist, Temple Douglass won second place in AXA Art Prize, winning a cash prize of $5,000.
Douglass’ passion for art did not develop overnight; even after securing a prize from the New York art contest, Douglass points towards her parents expressing thankfulness that her parents supported her devotion to art.

As The Columbus Museum continues to undergo a massive renovation, all of the Museum’s exhibitions are on rotation with local partners across town. The latest is a collection of drawings presented in partnership with the W.C. Bradley Museum located at 1017 Front Ave.

The past few years, awkward family pictures have inspired contemporary photoshoots, questionable fashion choices and, now, even an art exhibit. The Columbus Museum is set to open its “Awkward Family Photos” exhibition on Nov. 14, bringing a little bit of fun to the holiday season.

The Columbus Museum on tour has opened up a new exhibit at the W.S. Bradley Museum. Flora and Fauna features drawings from around 30 artists from Columbus as well as other renowned artists from across the nation.
