The Woodward Kitchen

Meet Me in the Garden session set for July 21 Arch Park Community Garden will host a free July 21 session on vertical growing techniques with gardener Erich Haller.

Kudos, An Artist Co-op, is proud to be one of the sponsors of Art at the Park. Please mark your calendars for this exciting event.

Art at the Park is an exhibition/competition of area artists representing many mediums, 2D, and 3D art, and artists of all ages and experience levels. It is presented by the Kokosing Valley Arts Alliance in partnership with Knox County Convention and Visitors Center, Kudos, Coleman Family Gallery, Pine Row Studio, and Kenyon Annex - Gund Gallery. The work of several Kudos Artists along with that of many other talented area artists will be represented.

The opening reception July 10, 4-6pm, is FREE and OPEN TO THE PUBLIC. Entertainment will be provided by the Fat Tuesday Trio and local food trucks will also be on-site for visitors to enjoy while they browse the artwork. Reception location is CA&C Visitor Center, 501 South Main St., Mount Vernon, OH

A highlight of the evening is the Community Choice Award voting. Starting at the reception on July 10th and running through August, community members can cast their votes for their favorite art pieces. This public voting window allows everyone to play a role in honoring the local artists who capture the spirit of the region. The overall juried winners, along with the final Community Choice selection, will be officially announced on stage at the annual Mount Vernon Music & Arts Festival.

Kudos is thankful for the support of our community. Come join us to celebrate the work of our talented area artists. Remember, Art Is Good For the Soul!

🚨🚨Attention all Dog owners and Dogs!! We love to announce the Paws on Parade where during August First Friday you can bring your dog in costume for the Dog parade 🐕‍🦺🐕‍🦺 Registration begins at 6:30 and the parade will start at the dog fountain ending at Public square .

Sadly, we have to announce that The Woodward Kitchen will be closing it's doors for good on July 15th. The kitchen will be leased to a private entity and will no longer be used as a community kitchen.
We would like to thank all of the businesses who have been a part of this community kitchen over the last 4 years, most especially Chef Meagan's Food Truck. Chef Meagan has been by far the largest contributor to The Woodward Kitchen and was instrumental in it's design and implementation.
Chef Meagan is currently looking for a new kitchen to work from and will hopefully continue to be a part of our community in the future. Please check out her website and page! If you are looking for a fantastic caterer for your next event, you will not be disappointed!
