Here in Statesboro, we really know how to paint the town. While anyone can be artistic anytime, anywhere, Georgia Southern University's annual ArtsFest provides a very public outlet for spontaneous creation."Stop and Create" signs by every station briefly explain what is going on: 3-D design, dance, tie-dye. While the forecast was ominous, Mother Nature relented and held off the rain for a clear, beautiful Saturday, allowing thousands of people to express themselves — some in ways they might not have considered before.
