TARC said the buses will run about every 15 minutes from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Friday and Saturday and 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Sunday.

The bus will pick riders up at Broadway and 4th Street and drop off at South 2nd and West Magnolia streets or South 1st and West Hill streets, both of which are two blocks from the art show.
