Columbus Underground readers represent a community that supports the local arts, and the results of our reader’s poll for best local artist proves that. We’ve compiled a great Top 10 list of independent art makers, and for the second year in a row, Joey Monsoon has found his way to the top of the charts. Joey spent much of 2009 in a studio space at Chop Chop in Olde Towne East and had a big show in October as his Dreamsters Union exhibition opened up the new Ohio Art League gallery space at the South Campus Gateway.
