Paint the Town online registration is an easy way to sign up and pick your squares to paint. Join us on Saturday, September 17, 2022, for Paint the Town. This year, Morrison’s one-of-a-kind, family, visual arts festival will feature 1750 squares ready for painting by children, families, and artists of all ages. To pre-register to paint, please visit www.paintthetownmorrison.com. Pre-registration cost is $20 per person and can be done until 11:00 a.m., on the day of the event. After 11:00 the cost increases to $25 per person.
They say, “the third time’s a charm!” When the 25th anniversary event in 2019 was rained out, and the COVID-19 pandemic cancelled 2020 and 2021 events, the Children’s Art Preservation Association (CAPA) resolved to “rewind the clock” and not miss celebrating this important milestone. The event’s slogan for 2022 is Paint the Town Rewind.
Surrounding the Main Street Morrison event, almost 50 business windows will be painted by amateur and professional artists. Once again, Morrison’s town center will be filled with color, music, and mouthwatering food for children and families.
Community support has always been the backbone of Paint the Town. Volunteers make up every aspect of event organization and planning. Volunteers are always needed to fill positions on planning committees or to provide help all the way up to the day of the event.
To volunteer for Paint the Town, contact Angela Reamer at 815-499-8128, or email angela.reamer@gmail.com.
Sponsors enable planning committees to keep the registration cost low; provide great entertainment; allow CAPA to channel event profits to scholarships in the Visual Arts. These are awarded to graduating Morrison High School Seniors; scholarships for continuing college education in the Visual Arts; community projects in the Visual Arts.
The Children’s Art Preservation is a 501C3 organization, making any sponsorship contributions to Paint the Town tax deductible.
This year, Paint the Town committees and the Children’s Art Preservation Association (CAPA) ask you to recognize and thank the sponsors that make the event happen year-after-year.
