According to the Centers for Disease Control, 98% of the U.S. is now at what they say is a “Low” or “Medium” transmission rate of the Coronavirus. In Ohio, most of the state is labeled as low with a few southeastern counties still in a “Medium” transmission rate. Here in Allen County, we are a “Low” transmission rate with a current 7-day case rate of 32.2 per 100,000 persons. In mid-January, there was a high of 1,636 cases.

Artspace Executive Director Sally Windle explains, “This is for all artists. This is one of those things that brings in all the mediums, lots of different people enter this and it’s pretty big for us because this is our 70^th year. So actually, the show is older that ArtSpace or the Art Association is. It’s always attracted a really diverse crowd of artists and mediums.”
