DOGWOOD! - Pomerene Center for the Arts

Because it’s spring and the dogwoods are blooming and art makes life interesting.

Sunday, May 5 through Friday, May 10. Downtown Coshocton

The great thing about spring is it’s really enough just that it’s spring. Very simple pleasures feel new and special—pleasures like riding your bike, drawing with sidewalk chalk, picnicking… For the 34th year the Pomerene Center for the Arts presents Dogwood! a once-a-year downtown salute to spring. .

Here’s what’s going on.
