October in the Short North means immersing yourself in one of the Midwest’s most vibrant arts communities. Our neighborhood is home to dozens of galleries, studios, and artisan shops where you can meet creators, watch them at work, and discover one-of-a-kind pieces that capture the spirit of Columbus.
Start your art walk at Gallery V, just three blocks from our front door, then wander through the Short North Arts District, where every block offers something new to explore. Don’t miss the glass-blowing demonstrations at Glass Axis or the local pottery studios tucked between High Street’s eclectic boutiques and cafés.
For art lovers, October’s Gallery Hop is a must — this month’s edition features Halloween-inspired exhibitions, extended hours, and the chance to mingle with artists and locals alike. Whether you’re discovering a new favorite gallery or just enjoying the energy of the neighborhood, it’s the perfect way to experience the creative pulse that makes Columbus so special.
After a full day of exploring, unwind at The Lincoln Short North, your boutique home base in the heart of it all. Cozy up in one of our uniquely styled rooms, enjoy a glass of wine in the lounge, and reflect on your discoveries from the day. Here, art and comfort meet — and every stay feels like a local experience.
