This time of year is a magical one for outdoor activities. Sure, mosquitoes are sometimes extra rabid and looking for, literally, blood, but you can overlook our buzzy overlords when there are such fun activities to be enjoyed. Last Friday, Eastern Market Main Street hosted some of the Art All Night festivities, in addition to bringing us the fourth installment of the successful concert series Live on the Hill. In case you haven’t heard, that series has been extended through all five Fridays in October. The lineup is as follows: October 1, Aaron Myers October 8, Elijah Balbed Oct 15, Zach Cutler Oct 22, Amy Bormet Oct 29, Imani Grace-Cooper
In the meantime, enjoy these photos from Art All Night! (On mobile? Turn the phone sideways for better display.)
Live on the Hill brought together long-time residents and kids after school ready to get their wiggles out.

Here, Luke Walter shows off one of his beautiful, unusual prints. He exhibited right outside Captain Cookie and the Milkman.

(Maria Helena Carey)Carpenter and carver Jeff Jacobs, who’s also a regular fixture at the weekend markets, shows part of the delicate process that goes into making birds and fans. (Maria Helena Carey)Ashley Mudge was one of several artists anchoring the Heal art exhibit at The Yard. Her pieces have an evocative, feminine edge. (Maria Helena Carey)Beloved Trusty’s fixture Mike Boone had an exhibit at PGN Architects, where his dreamlike, rock-inspired art, like this David Bowie portrait, dominated the conversation. (Maria Helena Carey)Anchoring the pergola were our friends at Hero Heads, among many other vendors.

Painter Anthony Young started with an empty canvas around 4:30 p.m. and a little over an hour and a half later, it had turned into a beautiful woman. What a magical thing to watch!
