Appleton and the Fox Cities feature a wide variety of art galleries. One of my favorite is the Appleton Art Center at 111 W. College Avenue. From Sept. 15 to Nov. 11, they will host "Art India," an exhibit aimed at providing insight into the culture and art of India.

The Appleton Pulic Library also often features art. The currently have a display of photography from Vietnam by Dick Swanson. This will be on the first floor until Oct. 31.

UW Fox-Valley's Aaron Bohrod Gallery is currently featuring works by Gail Penske, T.C. Farley, and Jeff Lilpschutz.
