Kicking off the Year in Color: The Opening of "Vibrant Year"
An Afternoon of Color and Community
The Columbus Art Gallery was filled with color, conversation and community during the opening reception of Vibrant Year, a mixed media exhibit by artist Yaramis "Yara" Ramos. The afternoon marked the debut of a bold and expressive body of work while also serving as a celebration of creativity, culture, and connection within the Trax Creative District and a meaningful way to kick off the new year.
Exploring Vibrant Year
Guests had the opportunity to experience Ramos' work up close, with each piece showcasing layers of texture, movement and emotion. Through vibrant color and mixed media techniques, the exhibit invites viewers to reflect and engage with the artwork on a personal level, making each visit a unique experience.

A highlight of the afternoon was hearing directly from Yara as she shared insight into her creative process and the inspiration behind Vibrant Year. Attendees appreciated the opportunity to connect with the artist, ask questions, and gain a deeper understanding of the themes and stories woven throughout the exhibit.
