Gallery 202 is looking for artists of all mediums to help create a new web database of local artists and venues just for Westerville. We are rich in the arts in Westerville, so let's tell the world that we are the creative cultural community.

We have basic information on the following website: www.artswesterville.com and are looking for more ideas on how to spread the word about our own artists, venues, classes, workshops and more.
