MAKE IT GROW 2010

A Community Celebration of the Visual & Performing Arts

April 30-May 8 2010

When we try to explain the vitality of arts and culture in Coshocton-an undeniably small community-we point to two things besides the water: 1) Coshocton is the birthplace of the Advertising Art Industry and in the 1900's boasted the second highest per capita population of artists east of the Mississippi and 2) our deeply rooted Appalachian citizenry. Annually, we come together to celebrate our artistic heritage.
