In its fifth year, Artoleptic celebrated Seattle’s urban arts and music scene with live painting (of free-standing murals, trucks, buses) and music in the sun. A fun surprise was that dance scenes for a music video (for Portland band Ages and Ages) was being taped in the street too. Some of the works created will be featured in a future Pioneer Square First Thursday Art Walk.Photos by Catherine Anstett.Published on August 22, 2011
