bodies of work. The weekend, dubbed “

downtown galleries and restaurants, displaying local artists’ work for the
evening. This year the Stroll is being expanded to include two new galleries
and guided tour of some of the exhibition locations. It continues over the
weekend with the Yellow Springs Artist Studio Tour, a driving tour showcasing
the artwork of twenty-seven distinctive Artists.
