On Saturday artists were hard at work filling the 50"-60" square foot panels attached to the outer fence. Artwork ranged from paintings and drawings to collages.
One artist was attaching clothing in the shape of a human figure to his panel. Children helped the adults on some projects, and adorable dogs were on hand for moral support.

The artists were taking part in the 14th annual "Art Around the Park" event, which is part of the Howl! Festival. According to the festival's website over 140 artists participated this year. In total they created over 8,000 square feet of art.
