Columbus, OH<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 CASTO announced today that it has signed its first tenant, ROY G BIV Gallery for Emerging Artists, at its mixed-use project River & Rich in Columbus\u2019 East Franklinton neighborhood.<\/p>\n \u201cWe understand the importance art plays in Franklinton and we\u2019re committed to making sure we do our part in keeping the neighborhood creative, vibrant and diverse. We believe ROY\u2019s mission of supporting emerging artists through exhibition opportunities and education is aligned with our goals of bringing more art to the already bustling neighborhood,\u201d said Brent Sobczak, President of CASTO Communities.<\/p>\n River & Rich inaugurated its commitment of bringing more art to Franklinton by commissioning 16 murals created by local artists, covering 400 feet of construction fences. Once completed, the project will also include large public murals and other various art and items produced by local Columbus artists and makers.<\/p>\n \u201cRiver & Rich will be a significant contributor to arts and culture in Franklinton. Their commitment to ROY G BIV, especially, is evidence of this commitment. We are very excited to exhibit hundreds of emerging artists annually within our new gallery at River & Rich in Franklinton,\u201d said J.D. Beiting, Board President of ROY G BIV.<\/p>\n ROY G BIV will occupy 2,048 square feet at River & Rich, more than doubling their current square footage is at their Short North Gallery.<\/p>\n \u201cRiver & Rich offers an incredible opportunity for ROY G BIV. The new gallery will double the square footage of the current Short North location, which will in turn provide more exhibits and educational programming for emerging artists. ROY will add to the already established visual arts and culture institutions in Franklinton, like the Idea Foundry, 400 W. Rich, COSI, Vanderelli Room and Glass Axis, to name a few,\u201d said Haley Kedziora, Gallery Director.<\/p>\n For over nearly 30 years ROY G BIV has been a fixture in both the Short North and Columbus\u2019 arts scene. By moving the gallery to Franklinton, it will bring hundreds of emerging artists to the area. The new gallery is scheduled to open in fall 2018.<\/p>\n About CASTO<\/strong> About ROY G BIV Gallery for Emerging Artists<\/strong> [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_4″ _builder_version=”4.4.6″ custom_padding=”|||35px|false|false” custom_padding_tablet=”50px|||0px|false|false” custom_padding_phone=”” custom_padding_last_edited=”on|tablet” border_color_top=”#008aaf” border_width_left=”5px” border_color_left=”#008aaf” border_width_top_tablet=”5px” border_width_top_phone=”” border_width_top_last_edited=”on|tablet” border_width_left_tablet=”0px” border_width_left_phone=”” border_width_left_last_edited=”on|tablet” background__hover_enabled=”off|desktop” background_image__hover=”https:\/\/castoinfo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/home-about-commercial-hover-mobile.jpg” background_enable_image__hover=”on”][et_pb_text admin_label=”Media Inquiries (Don’t Touch!)” _builder_version=”4.4.8″ text_orientation_tablet=”left” text_orientation_last_edited=”off|phone” global_module=”5109″ saved_tabs=”all” locked=”off”]<\/p>\n Media Inquiries<\/strong> Lauren Bowers Residential Media Inquiries<\/strong> Natalie Smith [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ _builder_version=”4.4.4″ use_background_color_gradient=”on” background_color_gradient_start=”#efefef” background_color_gradient_end=”#ffffff” background_color_gradient_overlays_image=”on” background_enable_image=”off” background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_center” saved_tabs=”all”][et_pb_row column_structure=”1_2,1_2″ make_equal=”on” _builder_version=”4.4.4″ width=”90%”][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ module_class=”vertical-align” _builder_version=”4.4.4″][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.4.7″ text_text_color=”#333333″ header_2_font=”|800|||||||” header_2_text_color=”#164469″ header_2_font_size=”40px” header_2_line_height=”1.1em” background_image=”https:\/\/castoinfo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/background-text-contact.png” background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_center” text_orientation=”center” custom_padding=”80px|50px|28px|50px|false|true” header_2_font_size_tablet=”30px” header_2_font_size_phone=”25px” header_2_font_size_last_edited=”on|phone” background_last_edited=”on|tablet” background_image_tablet=”https:\/\/castoinfo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/background-text-contact-mobile.png” background_image_phone=”https:\/\/castoinfo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/background-text-contact-mobile.png” background_enable_image_tablet=”on” background_enable_image_phone=”on” locked=”off” title_text_phone=”background-text-contact-mobile” title_text_tablet=”background-text-contact-mobile”]<\/p>\n Thank you for considering CASTO for all of your residential and commercial real estate needs.
