The Children’s Art Preservation Association has announced that Paint the Town, Morrison’s cherished annual street art festival, will not take place in 2026. Citing plans for a “strategic pause,” CAPA says the break will allow organizers to evaluate and enhance the event’s long-term future. Residents and artists alike are sure to miss the opportunity to fill downtown streets with color and creativity this September.
Event organizers have assured the community that Paint the Town’s legacy remains strong, with hopes for a vibrant return in the years ahead. Further updates are expected as plans progress.
