What started as a small idea between colleagues has turned into a decade-long tradition on the square in downtown Gainesville. This year is the 10th anniversary of Gainesville’s Art in the Square, featuring various art exhibits by more than 120 artists and artisans from the Southeast, specialty vendors and activities. Anne Brodie Hill, artist and director of Art in the Square, started the event when the Main Street manager suggested luring people in the area to downtown Gainesville.
