PORT CLINTON, Ohio — What started as a quick solution to give local artists an outlet online has grown, and continues to grow.
On March 26, the Greater Port Clinton Area Arts Council launched a Facebook Group call the Viral Art Show.
It was a chance to give local artists who couldn't show off their work at art shows a little extra publicity.
And now, nearly three months later, the posts are still coming in.
From paintings, sculptures, glass-work, and even jewelry, the group has has grown to feature submissions from the state of Georgia, and even Scotland.
Some post weekly, while a few have been posting daily works.
Organizers are happy to have created a space where everyone's work can be enjoyed and shared.
"We don't know who is stuck at home, we don't know who is getting out and a out either. With the lack of art shows that are going to be happening this Summer, we are in hopes of perhaps doing a few more things," said Rebecca Booth with GPAAC.
The plan is to keep this Viral Art Show going for the foreseeable future. And you don't have to be a member of the group to log on and see what folks are posting.
