LEXINGTON, Ky.\u2014If you spot a handmade doll hidden in the nooks and crannies of Limestone Street in the next few weeks, feel free to pick it up and give it a good home. It will likely be one of the 1,000 fabric, clay and wooden dolls that Transylvania University students and community members have made as part of the university\u2019s Community Engagement Through the Arts (CETA) class. <\/p>\n
