Berkeley residents were surprised and delighted to discover that their city was "art-attacked." These chalk drawings covered the stairs leading to the Marin Circle. Other "attacks" included poems and collages found tucked under windshield wipers, and Andy Goldsworthy-style nature installations at Albany Bulb. They were created by campers, all aged under 10, at the Westside Studio summer art camp. (Deborah Durant / Berkeleyside)
