More than 220 artists from around the country and the world are showcasing their work in Downtown Austin this weekend.
The Austin Fine Arts Festival is in its 57th year, but you can bet 2007 will be one to remember.
Friday night's weather was a bit of an obstacle for the artists.
Many of them lost their canopies to the wind as well as pieces of their work.

Artists are grateful to Austinites for their support in getting through the day.
"The Art festival provided us with rentals free of charge , they're paying for that, which is unheard of. It shows you basically the true spirit of this arts festival," local artist Edger Moises Diaz said.
The Austin Fine Arts Festival also has a complete line up of live music performances.
Sunday was the last day of the festival. It ends at 6 p.m.
