Despite the heat, the turnout for Art in the Park exceeded our expectations!
Participants of all ages and skill levels came to paint and were treated to food/beverages from a host of local restaurants (thanks Cafe Con Leche/Logan Square, El Rinconcito, The Bolier Room, Strak & Van Til, Treat and Walgreens) and a lunchtime music performance by Son Del Viento. See pictures below.
Art in the Park was sponsored by the following:
