Thank you to all who supported Paint the Town

Hundreds of you made our annual Paint the Town Labor Day Show this year a resounding success. From our volunteer event team and the Town of Kensington staff, to our donors and of course the nearly 200 member artists who exhibited in the show, everyone played their part to produce
an amazing event. Thank you, all!
