Paulding County Fine Arts Students Bring Color and Creativity to Downtown Dallas

DALLAS, GA — Downtown Dallas came alive with color and creativity on November 4 as fine arts students from across the Paulding County School District painted storefront windows throughout the historic downtown district.

More than 50 student artists, alongside their dedicated art teachers, spent the day transforming Main Street into a festive canvas of fall and holiday-themed artwork. Each storefront became a reflection of the students’ talent and imagination, helping to spread seasonal cheer while celebrating the strong partnership between the Paulding County School District and the City of Dallas.

“Dallas is more than A town; rather, it is also THEIR hometown, and being able to contribute to its beautification instills a deep sense of pride—not only in their own artwork, but in the community, they live in and love,” says Dr. Katie O. Anderson, Paulding County School District’s Fine Arts Coordinator. “We’re grateful to our art educators, the City of Dallas, and our local businesses for supporting the arts and helping our students feel seen, celebrated, and inspired.”

The annual window-painting event highlights the importance of the arts in education and strengthens the connection between local schools and downtown businesses. Participating merchants eagerly welcomed the students, offering their windows as blank canvases for creative expression and community spirit.

“I’m proud to be a small part and supporter of something that adds so much holiday joy and community spirit to our hometown,” says holiday window painting project sponsor Boyd Monk.

Visitors are encouraged to stroll through Downtown Dallas over the coming weeks to enjoy the students’ artwork on display and to support the many local shops and restaurants participating in the project.
