SAVE THE DATE! Chalk Walk in the Historic Northeast: Celebrating Creativity. Building Community.
Saturday, April 26th & Sunday, April 27th, 2008 at the Concourse Park.
Chalk Walk Celebrates Creativity with two days "chalked" full of creative activities! This FREE, family-friendly event--in the tradition of European 16th Century street painting--transforms the dull, grey concrete sidewalks of Concourse Park into colorful, pastel pathways. Kids and parents will join local, amateur and practicing artists to create everything from temporary chalk "masterpieces" to some colorful games of Tic-Tac-Toe!
Chalk Walk Builds Community! Join us Saturday, April 26th from Noon - 3pm for a Neighorhood Picnic on the lawn of the Concourse Park. Bring a picnic lunch and enjoy the funky sounds of Tut and the Soul Sensation Band and puppet shows from StoneLion Puppet Theatre. Or just watch your favorite artist(s) create their works. Proceeds raised through Chalk Walk benefit Mosaic Brain's after school and out of school art programs for at-risk youth in the Historic Northeast neighborhoods.
You don't have to be a professional artist or even know much about art to be a part of Chalk Walk. All you need is the desire to have fun and be inspired.
