"Paint Your Wagons!" was funded byThe Wildhorse Foundation of Pendleton, which provided a grant for the arts council to purchase paints and brushes.

The WVAC launched the event tocelebratetheregion'screative spirit and the recent designation of Joseph as an art and cultural district. WVAC officials said"Paint Your Wagons!" will be held each summer.
