Circleville, Ohio — ArtsaRound, the Pickaway County Board of Developmental Disabilities, and the
Pickaway County Library are partnering to present the Art of Inclusion Art Gallery, a community art
event celebrating creativity, expression, and inclusion through the arts.
The gallery will be open to the public on Saturday, March 7, 2026, from 11:00 am to 1:00 pm at the
Pickaway County Main Library in Circleville.
The Art of Inclusion Art Gallery will feature artwork submitted by artists living with disabilities and
siblings of individuals with disabilities, alongside work from ArtsaRound displaying members. Together,
the exhibit highlights diverse perspectives and reinforces the belief that art is for everyone.
“Art has a unique way of bringing people together,” said Heather Foll, Community Outreach Director for
the Pickaway County Board of Developmental Disabilities. “The Art of Inclusion Gallery is about
celebrating creativity in all its forms and creating space where every artist feels seen, valued, and
included.”
ArtsaRound will support the event by coordinating participating artists, assisting with artwork display
and sales, and managing on-site transactions. As part of the event experience, local artist Chris Lockard
will be creating art live during the gallery hours, offering visitors an opportunity to observe the creative
process in real time.
The Pickaway County Library serves as the event host, providing an accessible and welcoming space that
encourages community connection, learning, and creative exploration.
“This collaboration reflects the shared commitment of our community partners to inclusion and
accessibility,” said Jenny Rhoads, Secretary of ArtsaRound and a board member of the Pickaway County
Board of Developmental Disabilities. “By working together, we are able to showcase talent, encourage
creative expression, and foster a sense of belonging through the arts.”
The Art of Inclusion Art Gallery is free and open to the public. Community members of all ages are
encouraged to attend, explore the artwork, and engage with local artists.
