Artists braved afternoon showers Saturday to participate in the 10th annual Art in the Square in downtown Gainesville. Jennifer Benson said the rain was like “a river pouring down the square,” at its heaviest, but hopes today’s event delivers a steady stream of people. Clear skies are forecast when Art in the Square resumes from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. today.
