The Cardinal Health Gallery will showcase the work of artist Lance Johnson in his exhibition titled A Beautiful Journey. Using a combination of mediums such as collage, graffiti, stencils, texture, and found materials, Lance recreates the feeling of walking through a neighborhood where every wall tells a story.
The exhibition is both a celebration and a reflection of his evolution as an artist. Lance Johnson is a multi-disciplinary visual artist and muralist based in Columbus, known for his bold, expressive use of color, collage, and layered text to tell stories rooted in identity, culture, and community.
Experience Blooms & Butterflies in the Pacific Island Water Garden, where hundreds of exotic butterflies glide through bright nectar flowers. As you wander the garden, you’ll see butterflies feeding, resting, and gliding through the air in an ever-changing display of color and movement. Don’t miss the Metamorphosis Lab, where you can watch butterflies take their very first flight as they emerge from their chrysalises throughout the day.
