Join Kristen Hudson for WTVM’s Business Break, as she talks about the most recent exhibition at The Columbus Museum: “American Made: Paintings and Sculpture from the DeMell Jacobsen Collection.”

Columbus, Georgia, is a city that weaves together the threads of history, culture, and modernity into a vibrant and welcoming community. I still remember the first time I set foot along the banks of the Chattahoochee River—the gentle lapping of water against the shore and the timeless beauty of the riverwalk left an indelible impression on me. Over time, this city grew on me, not just as a place to live, but as a living storybook of experiences, traditions, and endless possibilities.

The Best Black Art Books of 2024 explore many artists and themes including, Alvin Ailey, Elizaveth Catlett, Tschabalala Self, Sargen Claude Johnson, the Harlem Renaissance, African photographers, Carribean makers, and queer designers.

The Columbus Museum received top honors as one of USA Today’s 10 Best Museums for 2025. The recognition follows a makeover and reopening last May. The top 10 winners were nominated by an expert panel and voted by readers as the best new or newly transformed venues.
