LISTEN: Town Talk/Art Attack

Art Attack, an annual event started in 2012 by local artists Bill Harris and Gabe Pons, will return to downtown Fredericksburg on October 4. The event features artists creating work live on the streets, offering the public a direct look at the artistic process and showcasing the depth of local talent.

Simon Watts, of Original Grinds, is supporting this year’s event and emphasized his coffee shop’s commitment to Fredericksburg’s creative community. Organizers say Art Attack aims to give working artists greater visibility while encouraging public engagement with the arts. The event is free and open to all.
