Stop inside the gallery during the festival April 21, 2012 and check out the 14th-annual Chillicothe Art League Spring Open Exhibition.

While at the festival, consider purchasing a historical coloring book created by league members. The 24-page, tea-out-sheet coloring book includes illustrations of artifacts, architecture, symbols, and people of Ross County. Each book is a creative, educational, community-made work of art which supports funding for scholarships awarded annually to deserving Ross County students seeking a degree in fine art
or art education.(for more details, scroll to bottom of page)
