On Saturday, July 12, Bastille Day: French Fest 2025 welcomed the unmistakable energy and talent of contemporary fine artist Kat Perdue, who took to the streets of Cherry Creek North with brush in hand and vision in motion.

Kat’s mobile live painting activation turned the festival into a moving canvas. With every textured layer and vivid color, she brought her signature blend of emotion, movement, and spontaneity to life right before our eyes. Festivalgoers paused to watch her process—some mesmerized, some curious, all inspired, as she captured the heart of Bastille Day in real time.

From the scent of fresh croissants to the rhythm of French jazz floating through the plaza, Kat translated the sensory magic of the festival into rich, expressive brushstrokes. Her presence wasn’t just a performance, it was an invitation to connect with art in action, to witness creation unfold step by step. Merci, Kat, for bringing your artistry to Bastille Day: French Fest and for helping us see the festival through your brilliant lens.
