WHERE: Grounds of Mills Lawn School, 200 S. Walnut Street, Yellow Springs, Ohio
More than 100 artists from Ohio and beyond will gather under the shade trees at 200 S. Walnut St. in the heart of Yellow Springs, Ohio, to show and sell their original, fine arts and fine crafts at this year's Art on the Lawn on Saturday, August 12, from 10 am-5 pm, rain or shine. This popular, free, outdoor festival of art, food and music, now in its thirty-seventh year, is sponsored by Village Artisans Gallery of Yellow Springs. Both new and returning artists will present their ceramics, drawings, fiber art, garden art, glass, jewelry, leatherwork, mixed media, paper craft, paintings, photography and more. Food vendors and live music complement the outstanding, juried artwork.
Returning this year is Art on the Lawn's Featured Artist Kathy Woodruff, who won Best of Show at the 2022 Art on the Lawn.
Kathy Woodruff, from Beavercreek, grew up in art supply heaven, as her parents opened Busy Beaver Arts and Crafts in Beavercreek 47 years ago. “I made my first stained glass piece when I was 15,” she explained. She has focused on fused glass for the past 20 years. “I layer glass up on top of itself in pretty patterns and then I fire it in a kiln.”
A self-taught artist, Woodruff attends about 22 shows each year, all within eight hours of her home in Beavercreek.
Dogs and other pets are kindly requested to remain away from the fair. Typical August temperatures and crowds with children make the fair an unsafe place for pets.
