Visitors viewing paintings

Brandt-Roberts Galleries in Columbus, Ohio

Walk into the gallery’s current downtown home and you’re met by a clean, light-filled main room of contemporary and post-war work. Off to one side is a tighter project space called Pecha Projects, where focused shows unfold alongside the headline exhibition.

Longtime art-goers will remember this place from its Short North era as Brandt-Roberts Galleries. In April 2025 it moved to 76 North High Street and now operates as Brandt Gallery. The program still centers on rotating exhibitions by local, regional, and national artists, so repeat visits regularly turn up something new.

The visit itself is unhurried. You can browse during open hours or set up time to look more closely by appointment. Openings tend to pair the main galleries with a smaller, curator-driven presentation in Pecha Projects, which makes a quick stop feel like two distinct experiences. The move and rebrand were led by owner Michelle Brandt, and the gallery’s mix of contemporary painting, works on paper, and select historic pieces continues to anchor the space.

  • Location. 76 North High Street, Downtown Columbus.
  • Typical hours. Wednesday to Friday 11 a.m. to 5 p.m; Saturday and Sunday 1 p.m. to 5 p.m; also by appointment. Hours can shift around exhibition openings, so check ahead.
  • Current name. Operates as Brandt Gallery, formerly Brandt-Roberts Galleries (since April 2025).
  • Known for. Contemporary and post-war art, rotating exhibitions, and the in-gallery project space Pecha Projects.

If you want a downtown stop to see current contemporary work without committing to a full museum visit, this fits the bill.
