Rain date, Sunday, September 29, 9:00am to 1:00pm. Paint a window by yourself or grab your friend or parent and paint one window together. All windows must have a family friendly Halloween theme.

Only online registration
Entries are accepted on a first-come, first-served basis. Space is guaranteed to the first 62 entries. Registration site closes when all slots are filled. No confirmation will be sent.
During the week of September 23, painters will be emailed their window assignment, a rules and information flyer, and a list of window painting supplies and tips.
A $25 registration fee covers paint supplies purchased locally (an assortment of paint brushes and seven acrylic paints in a pre-selected color palette, which will be available to painters on the day of the event).
Eligibility: Anyone who resides in Arlington or attends school in Arlington is eligible to participate in this event. Painters under age 12 must be accompanied by an adult.
The paintings will remain on display throughout the month of October, in time for the Chamber of Commerce-sponsored Annual Heights Halloween Stroll on Friday, October 25, from 3-5pm.
This event is organized by the Arlington Heights Community Association, the Arlington Chamber of Commerce, and the Arlington Commission for Arts and Culture.
The Arlington Heights Community Association (AHCA) is a group of Heights business owners, residents, and non-profits who meet monthly to address local issues and concerns, support beautification projects, and organize public events in the Heights such as three seasonal window paintings and the Holiday Stroll. If you are interested in attending a meeting, volunteering at an event, or making a donation to support our activities, please contact Janet O’Riordan, joriordan@comcast.net.
