There is art all over Jefferson City. To help bring attention to the varying art forms and galleries throughout the Capital City, the fifth annual Art Exposed Gallery Crawl will take place from 4:30-8:30 p.m. on Oct. 28.

The event is great for art lovers of all ages, Janet Mauer of Capital Arts said some families use them as a mother/ daughter night out.
