♪ >> A group in Lexington called Arts Connect has a mission to create more visibility and opportunities for local artists through events, resources and community engagement.

Its annual event paint the town does just that.

>> I've been participating for about 3 years on enough.

Just love it.

It's a a way to get out into nature and see other folks who are trying to.

Make this world a better place, their different artists who have.

The building to go to a block 20 blocks or so with boundaries from 8, maybe AM until 02:00PM.

We paint and then 2 o'clock.

We frame it ourselves.

>> like this is going to be mad, told us.

It is interesting to me and the fans are just friends we use when you play couple of times, you know, you're for the exhibit can produces buddy a this is a great time to face with the probably my 5th or 6 year.

I think it's an excuse to paint.

>> For an extended period of time without being interrupted.

It refreshes >> your high.

Just getting out.

And painting from life is always informative.

Watching the like change.

And the colors that you.

Not easy.

>> You know, it's just the way you look at it.

Nobody is wrong.

Everybody can just.

Feel free to do what they like.

It doesn't matter what medium they use.

You know, doing your best and trying to make a difference and seeing what light.

Effects different in doing acrylic.

And them.

Enjoying it on campus.

I use water color sometimes for experimental or if I want some change, then I used was also I started to say you're doing that.

I'm still learning.

But the water, the Moose Lake.

I Google makes a gun is a big plus when it comes to support for Vargas and that a lot Gary's in here where I exhibit and my some of my work.

>> I think they've done a good job.

I really do.

We have to connect with the point where we are there.

Different studios, valuable.

We we have the gallery hop which is every other month.

And that just a lot of fun and it gets people involved with what's going on in in the community.

In Lexington, Fayette County, in the surrounding area.
