Best Suburban Art Gallery/Gallery Event
Grove City Arts in the Alley
The Arts in the Alley Music and Arts Festival has been a pivotal part of Grove City for almost 42 years. Every year, hundreds of juried exhibitors gather in the area to show off photography, jewelry, fine art, crafts, glasswork, pottery and more. While the 2020 event had to pivot to a digital version, the alteration was perhaps a more permanent way for people to interact with art online. The 2021 event is projected to be in-person, however, many of last year’s visitors can return to
2021 Grove City Arts in the Alley Sept. 18-19, 2021 Saturday: 9:30 a.m.-8:30 p.m. Sunday: 11 a.m.-5 p.m. www.gcchamber.org 24 July/August 2021
the digital Arts in the Alley to remind them of all the unique entertainment and art there.
Best Brewery
Grove City Brewing Company
It was no contest as to who would take first place in this Best of the ’Bus category. From the start, Grove City Brewing Company was ahead of other nominations by a large margin. This could be due to Grove City’s love for the flagship brew, Beulah Blonde, or newer additions such as Jolly Red Velvet, a collaboration with Grove City Jolly Pirate Donuts. Part of the 2021 Best of the ’Bus award should be shared with head brewer Trevor Luther for his video series, Trevor’s Brew Diaries. Whether he’s talking about new Irish beers while eating Lucky Charms cereal, taking a tour of Rustic Brew Farm in Marysville or pairing Christmas cookies with craft brews, Luther is the type of guy you want to sit down and grab a beer with.
