Sounds very cool. Too bad it's waaay too far away from me, I'd love to see the works of art. Always amazing to me how so much effort can go into any art that nature will wash away in time.
What a fantastic artistic event! I've seen some wonderful creations from sidewalk art and bet this one will be just as amazing.
great and fun event!
I was at the festival this year, and i personally found it to be judged very biased and unfair. having a degree in Studio Art, i found that the elementary things not only they teach you in school, but the things they should be judging on were very misjudged. I think that if the judges were truly professionals they made a horrible judgment on the winning pieces of work. I was very disappointed to have enjoyed a wonderful day of art and sunshine, wait 2 hours to hear the choices the judges had made. I wont return next year.
Chalk art is absolutely amazing.
