EUGENE, Ore. -- Color is moving into downtown Eugene. In an effort to fill empty windows, the eighth installment of the Storefront Art Project went up Tuesday.

Local artists installed art at the 900 block of Oak Street inside one of the project's biggest empty buildings.

Each storefront in the downtown art project has its own theme. Five artists took part in the most recent project by hanging vibrant pictures of flowers and animals. It's all part of an effort to add a positive feeling downtown by covering up empty, vacant buildings.

"This one has so many bright windows. We wanted bright colors because looking around, everything here is mostly gray. It's beige and gray everywhere I look, so I thought this one needed a lot of bright colors," said Eugene Storefront Project Co-founder Paula Goodbar.

The building next door got its own splash of color. It's theme is three-dimensional.

Goodbar says art project number nine is already in the works. The art inside the latest building is all for sale.
