How often do parents and their kids get together for the sole purpose of creating with pure abandon? Not often enough. In celebration of artistic divergence and the diversity that can be found within one single family, Studios on the Park will play host to artist Harold Spencer and his two sons for an exhibit that ranges from prints and drawings to collage and sculpture.

Don't miss your shot to see Allyson Magda's exhibit of images photographed in a single exposure, aptly titled Single Shot, on view at Studios on the Park in Paso through July 26. Studios on the Park is at 1130 Pine St. Go to studiosonthepark.org for more info.

The seventh annual Paso ArtsFest returned to City Park on Saturday. The day included a fine art show, art workshops, a public mural project, hands-on children's and teen art stations, live music, dance performances, a wine lounge and other activities. The event is organized by and raises money for Paso Robles' Studios on the Park, a nonprofit organization that offers fine art programs to adults and children.

The seventh annual PASO ARTSFEST took over City Park in downtown Paso Robles today. Works from 80 artists from across the globe were also available for auction. They were called wet paintings because the artists painted them while staying this week on the Central Coast. Kids could try their hand at painting as well or build sand castles. Another fun sight there today: an actual steamroller cranking out prints on the streets.

Don't pass on the annual Paso Artsfest, held May 22 to 24, with the main event May 23, at the Downtown City Park. The festival features a wet painting sale, sand sculpting, interactive art experiences, live music, and more. Related events include an Artmaker Dinner, keynote and after party, a Hearst Castle Sunset Reception and Art Tour, and plein air painting workshops. Visit pasoartfest.com for details.
