There\u2019s no need to paint the town red this weekend as artists bring a wide spectrum of colors to the 27th annual Via Arte Italian Street Painting Festival.<\/p>\n
More than 100 artists, a mix of high school students and professionals, will descend on the parking lot of the Marketplace, using the treated asphalt as their canvases to recreate masterpieces and pop culture favorites.<\/p>\n
