The 47th annual Artists of the Springs Invitational Exhibition opened on Aug. 1 with an enthusiastic crowd interested in the art on the walls and displayed on pedestals at Ashawagh Hall. This year's show features work by over 125 artists with ties to the local community. The Invitational continues through Aug. 17, 2014.
