Our mission is to enrich lives through a social introduction of art, while building relationships and strengthening community involvement.

We Will….

-bring inspiration to the community

-make connections with neighbors

-celebrate the fine arts

 

Children and adults will enjoy this annual event where community members join professional artists in using the walkways around the Village Hall and the 100 block as a colorful canvas. This festival is a modern expression of a Renaissance tradition from 16th-century Italy in which beggars copied paintings of the Madonna by Raphael and his contemporaries, using chalk on the plazas outside cathedrals. Watching the chalk artists and enjoying the entertainment is free.  

 

In addition to the artwork, on-site of the 100 block there will be food, music, vendors and chalk-related activities throughout the day.  There will also be an area for younger children to participate in ‘Chalkboards of Art’ circulating display and activity. Other dynamic activities for this event will include a professional face painter, carriage rides from the Village Hall to the Historic Log Cabin at Oak Street Park, Music and an Open Mic Stage.
