About Paint the Town

For one Saturday, each September, Morrison's downtown is transformed into an outdoor canvas for hundreds of amateur artists of all ages who gather to Paint the Town. The Children's Art Preservation Association of Morrison created this unique family art event as a way for the community to participate in the arts together, as families and individuals. The focus of the event is the painting of five- foot squares on Morrison's Main Street. 

The number of squares painted has grown steadily since the event's debut in 1994, when 250 squares were painted, to 968 squares by more than 1500 children, families and individuals during Paint the Town 2003. Going into its 11th season, the 2005 event will offer 1000 squares for painting; each a frame and canvas ready to receive the original work of these artists.
