The Ohio Arts Council is hitting the road again this fall to find out what Ohioans value about the arts, creativity and their communities.

Communities to be visited this fall and winter will be: Cincinnati in late January, Cleveland on November 6, Columbus on December 10, Dayton on September 18, Kent on November 5, Mansfield on October 13 and Wapakoneta on October 8.
