Thousands of people from across the region descended upon the Town Center Park from Sept. 17-19 to participate in the 42nd annual Arts in the Alley Music and Arts Festival. The popular event, sponsored by the city of Grove City and the Grove City Area Chamber of Commerce, saw more than 20 artisans throughout the state set up booths for attendees to peruse their handcrafted wares and pick up a gift or two, or three or four, for themselves and others. Here, Urbana artist Lindsey Rooney works on a new piece that will become a mountainous landscape with a nebula overhead. She had several surrealist paintings that were inspired by nature on display.
