The Richland County Development Group Art Sector will host a closing reception for local artist Ken Arthur on Sunday from 2 to 4 p.m. at 101 Tea Shop in Mansfield, Ohio.

The Art Sector, founded in 2008, has expanded its partnership with 101 Tea Shop, where owner Braxton Daniels has set aside a 15-foot gallery wall for rotating exhibitions. Arthur's show follows an inaugural exhibit by Neil Yoder, and Jo Westfall's work will be featured later this month.
