For this year’s Halloween Paint-In, Maneki Neko owner Tao Takazato shakes hands with the artist responsible for his spooky storefront, Tessa Boneau, a third-grade student at Thomas Jefferson Elementary School.

With support from Falls Church Arts, Falls Church Recreation and Parks, Creative Cauldron, the Falls Church Chamber of Commerce and the Business in Education Partnership, artists of all ages signed up to paint designated Falls Church store windows this week and last week, just in time for the holiday.
