Activities in the Neighborhood

Tour of Homes
Happens once a year every summer.  People can have their house sponsored to be a part of the tour.  This is a very popular event for residents of the neighborhood and of Columbus alike.  Last year, the tour was showcased in the Dispatch.  This tour especially featured the gardens of Gary Ross (above), James Arter, Robert Pilarski, and Chet Domitz.  Ross is a sculpture professor at Capital University, so he is very much a local and has a lot of knowledge about the area.

Galleries
More and more galleries are opening shop in OTE, in part because of the large artist community moving in.  Chop Chop Gallery (above) is located on Parsons Avenue.  It also houses Opal Stackhouse, a mix of reclaimed furnishings and vintage hardware.  Chop Chop is a more traditional artist's gallery.  Both of these opened this year, so they are fairly new additions to the neighborhood.
