Calling artists in grades 3 through 8 — sign up now for Halloween Window Painting!
Now in its 27th year, Halloween Window Painting is a beloved annual tradition in Newton. Students in grades 3 through 8 create public art by painting Halloween-themed artwork on merchants’
windows in seven Newton village centers. This event provides an opportunity for our community to celebrate Halloween and our talented student artists.
Halloween Window Painting will again be a contest this year! Winners will be chosen in each of our participating villages and celebrated at an event at City Hall (date TBD).
Window Painting Date and Time: Saturday, October 24, 9 am to 4 pm (rain date: October 25)
Eligibility: Open to all Newton students in grades 3 through 8 (under adult supervision)
