The Commons

The Commons BUILDING HOURS:
Sunday - Saturday
9:00 AM - 8:00 PM The Commons is a community gathering place in the heart of downtown Columbus.

Building on the strong foundation of the original structure, The Commons opened in April 2011 as a 21st century model for public gatherings and use by the community. The new structure features an expanded indoor playground, complete with a Luckey climber, expanded Miller-Tangeman Lobby featuring Chaos, a Jean Tinguely sculpture created for the original Commons, the Nugent-Custer Performance Hall,

The Patio and the Xenia Miller Conference Room (free for not-for-profit organizations to use). For information about rentals of any of The Commons areas, contact The Commons at (812) 376-2681.

Join INSILC for its second town hall event of 2026—a community-centered gathering focused on elevating the voices of people with disabilities. This event creates multiple opportunities to speak directly with community leaders, connect with local organizations, and help influence decisions at both the local and state level. Ideas and themes shared throughout the evening will help inform Indiana’s next Statewide Plan for Independent Living, a roadmap of priorities and goals set by people with disabilities across the state.

Closing out the 103rd season of the Columbus Symphony Orchestra of Indiana, Indiana's longest running orchestra, is a mostly lighthearted program of music many of us enjoy in family situations. Families can come in many forms and may even include alien lifeforms like in E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial.

Liszt’s “Hungarian Rhapsody No. 2” and Brubaker’s “What’s Up at the Symphony” evoke beloved classic cartoons that are enjoyed by all ages.

Much like Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Phil Palermo comes from a musically talented family and will perform the Violin Concerto No. 1 in B-Flat.

To cap off the season we hope to inspire unity in the community with the "National Emblem" march by Bagley.
