Earth Gathering is a juried-invitational art festival with an Earth Day theme designed to enlighten, entertain, and inspire the public with Earth-friendly art, music, food, products, and ideas. Applicants must reside within a 100 mile radius of Chillicothe and create hand made art or sell products that are inspired by nature or have a recycled or natural theme.
