Early Thursday morning, around 30 art students from Kristen Coles’ class descended on 14 Plains businesses. Their canvases for the day were the windows of businesses along Railroad Avenue. Their goal is to bring color and cheer to the business district for all to see.
Many of the art students are participating for the first time in what has been a tradition for almost 20 years. Each of the budding artists broke up into groups of two and three, with painting supplies in hand and with window painting designs in mind, ranging from Christmas trees, Santa’s sleigh, and the Grinch.
Art students LeAnna Demars, Emma Dimond, Brady Tucker, Atlas Owens and Shay Nelson shared their talents on the windows of the Circle.
