WHAT'S SO UNUSUAL ABOUT COSHOCTON, OHIO

Where in the world can you find an 1840s doctor, an asylum for art lovers and a train depot filled with everything from cheeses to wedding dresses?  Coshocton County, Ohio, is just that unique of a place, filled with interesting people to meet and unusual places to visit.

THE ART ASYLUM
     Coshocton County has always been home to artists. Being the birthplace of advertising art, in the early 1900s Coshocton boasted more artists than any other US city (other than New York City). Although the art has changed over the years, a large number of artists are still attracted to the area, and there are several individual artists' studios, galleries and art festivals.
     You definitely won't miss the Art Asylum at 448 Chestnut Street in Coshocton. The Asylum has made quite a statement in the quiet rural town. The classic old house has been decked out in bright colors and fun characters (that change with the seasons) inhabit the yard. Several family members have come together to create the Art Asylum's unique style. "Our whole family is artistic," said Lisa Jane Martin from the Art Asylum. "We wanted a place where we could all work on art together and this was an exciting option for us."
     Whether you consider yourself artsy or not, this is definitely a FUN place, housing reasonably-priced artwork from several local artists. You'll find hand-painted walking sticks, watercolor landscapes, colorful collages, jewelry, animal portraits, paper mach* ponies, and life-size soft sculptures, among many other things. "We want our shop to be a relaxing place that's not your traditional 'stuffy' art gallery," continued Martin. "Most people remark that the gallery is so colorful and they like the fact that we don't have plain white walls where everything is hanging in a perfect row. We definitely don't do that here."

The Art Asylum is open Tuesday through Saturday. (740) 575-4042. www.theartasylum.samsbiz.com.
