Art Scared

 

For the fifth consecutive year, the San Marcos Art League (SMAL) is pleased to be bringing Art Scared back to the downtown Square on Saturday, every October. The temporary Halloween public art installation is open to area children, Elementary-through-High-School-age. Participants are invited to paint a section of a designated window with a fall or Halloween-themed image. Painted windows will remain on display for the public to enjoy through early November.

Once again, SMAL is joining forces with area schools and several generous sponsors each year, with previous years including the Calaboose African American Museum, the Downtown Association of San Marcos (DASM), HEB, Mayor Jane Hughson, and the Price Center & Garden to bring the event back and provide appropriate supplies and prizes. First, Second, and Third Place Prizes will be awarded at each different school age level. All participants will receive acknowledgment and leave the event with a gift bag, extra paint supplies and brushes to create more art at home.

Huge thanks to this year’s Art Scared sponsors for an incredible 2024 event!
