The mayor purchased three paintings in support of the Dream Out Loud Studio arts program for people with developmental disabilities.
Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder. And now the beautiful artwork the mayor personally purchased from the Dream Out Loud Studio arts program for people with developmental disabilities can be in the eyes of all Stow residents.
