Painting the Town

There was a festive air, despite threatening weather, as crowds took part in today’s “Paint the Town” project on Westport’s Church Lane, Participants painted portraits themselves—sometimes with the help of local artists—on the construction fence surrounding the Bedford Square development. The event sponsored by the Westport Arts Center, the Westport Weston Chamber of Commerce, and the Downtown Merchants Association was cut short in the afternoon by rain. It will resume next Saturday, a rain date makeup, from 11 a.m. to 1 a.m. (CLICK TO ENLARGE) WestportNow.com photo
