After 10 years of leading the ever-expanding Art in the Square festival, director Anne Brodie Hill is handing over the reins to area artist and business owner, Fox Gradin. “From the first festival with 35 artists on Oct. 2, 2004, Gainesville’s Art in the Square has grown to a two-day festival with over 100 artists on the downtown square,” Anne Brodie Hill. “Through a strong relationship with Main Street Gainesville, local sponsors and all the amazing artists, I have enjoyed watching the community benefit from our festival growing bigger every year.”
