(F) A-R-T Sculpture Agree with prior communications that this, and other downtown Columbus sites, are nicely and easily viewed on weekend mornings. With regard to this "attraction," it is best viewed in the winter months as the trees on the nearby street have grown and their summer leaves obscure the letters, especially the "T"

(F)A-R-T Sculpture It's best to be in downtown Columbus on a weekend in the morning, because you can actually stop and weave your way around to masterpieces like this without worrying about traffic. Plus parking is free!

(F) A-R-T Sculpture Straddling Gay Street at the Columbus College of Art and Design is a giant, red 100-foot sculpture spelling out A-R-T. However when viewed from a certain angle in the parking lot of the nearby Columbus Museum of Art, two nearby lampposts form an "F" and it seems to spell something quite different.
