"Arts in Fashion" show held by Arts Place

The St. Mary's Eagles was a place of history and fashion Sunday (July 9) afternoon.

The Auglaize/Mercer County Arts Place held a "fashion show" - teaching people about how historical events have impacted not only art, but fashion, too.  Articles of clothing were on display for the audience to see up close and get an idea of what fashion was like throughout history.  The event will also help to keep Arts Place events like these possible. 

"This was a fundraising event for Arts Place and our Arts Place in St. Mary's and Auglaize/Mercer County has been for the last five or six years moved into a new location is more fully staffed and we've been having exhibits from all around the area," said Rebecca Regent, a corporate board member of the Auglaize/Mercer County Arts Place.  "This was a fundraising event for us so we can bring arts and culture to the local communities."

The Arts Place is also holding "Arts in the Park" in St. Marys now through July 27th.
