The BBAC’s mission to connect people of all ages and abilities with creative experiences and MSF’s goal to show Franklin residents and guests alike that historic Franklin Village is a great place to live, shop, work, and play, combined nicely in this day-long cultural community event. Approximately 5 paint stations were strategically placed throughout the Village Center, complete with an art educator provided by the BBAC. Participants will paint on uniform canvas pieces that were hung, quilt-like, for display onto a temporary frame located on the northern wall of the Market Basket. There were also live music provided by Axis music and sidewalk sales during the day from 1-5pm.
