The concrete walkways turn Brookside Park into a sprawling, temporary mosaic of color, where artists use premium pastels to craft everything from classical reproductions to hyper-realistic 3D optical illusions. The free event also features live music, local food trucks, and a silent art auction of 1′ x 1′ canvases benefiting youth art education programs.
