Young and old alike get to make their creative marks.

Paint the Town attracts an audience of more than 6,000 visitors annually who come to paint and view the art. Community members, friends, family, and visitors enjoy this unique outdoor gallery for months as they stroll the street until the art fades, leaving the canvas ready for next year.

Three music venues and food courts provide the perfect accompaniment to the painting. Entertainment spans the day from noon to evening, with music chosen to support the visual arts activities. Both professional and amateur musicians perform, and a wide variety of music styles and rhythms are featured to encourage an appreciation for the diversity of the arts. In addition, street performers ensure that no matter where the painters are, they are within eye and earshot of music, a magician, balloon artist or other entertainers.

When the painting is finished, the music continues under the stars, providing a backdrop for dancing and strolling the street to admire the artwork.
