1st Annual Summer Chalk Art Festival

Chalk Art dates back to the 16th Century where artists created works of art on the pavement of the piazzas of Italy. This art form is continued today in local festivals across the country and around the world. You’ll find something for all ages as the festivities begin at 9:00 AM. The artists will be working on their creations throughout the day, using pastel chalks. Some will work on large pavement squares and others will be working on gesso boards.

Children will enjoy the Kids Korner where they will make their own chalk to “color” on their own pavement square. Live music, balloon artists and face painters will entertain and captivate the attention of all. Artists will complete their artwork by 3:30 PM and awards will be presented at 4:00 PM. A silent auction will be held for donations from local retailers, raising additional funds for Rocky Top Therapy Center.
