Get Out the Chalk.....




It's getting closer - Chalk Fest 2007 happens this year on July 7th and 8th.
The City Square in downtown Wausau will once again be transformed by artists and their colorful chalk drawings. This is the fourth year for this community event which is for artists of all ages and levels of ability to participate and for art lovers to observe and enjoy. Last year, Devon and I both entered drawings - he with an anime character, and I with a favorite Picasso reproduction. Of course we didn't win, but it was so much fun to participate. Looking forward to this year - we always meet interesting artists from all over the place, and it's an atmosphere of camraderie and artistic support, more so than you would expect. I have posted some of the photos from past festivals - such amazing artwork, all done in chalk. Now I just have to find the perfect pick for this year's entry - another Picasso? We'll see.
