On an unseasonably warm and sunny April 1 evening, Arts in the Alley came to life with gallery openings and the sweet sounds of live jazz. The Truth -- a jazz quintet led by School of Music student Joe Graziosi on sax -- played two sets in the middle of the alley while visitors
stopped to enjoy the music while browsing the three galleries. In the Arts Initiative space, Carly Witmer's solo show, Mathematic Abstraction, opened (2 photos below), while the Ohio Art League Gallery hosted a reception for the exhibition Open House, and the Shoebox Gallery opened the doors to Iconic Columbus. Witmer's show continues through May; the other two exhibitions continue through April.
