Chalk Art Festival
 

Don’t miss the colorful Annual Chalk Art Contest, fast becoming an Autumn favorite on the near Southside in Saint Louis.

In October, all will have the opportunity to participate and/or witness the coloring of many sidewalks in historic Benton Park at Jefferson Avenue and Arsenal Street in Saint Louis, Missouri.

It’s a unique temporary art form. All chalkers must pre-register to compete. Registration fee includes chalk and a cold soda from sponsors. Space is limited. The chalk comes in brilliant colors of bright and light green, orange, red, yellow, blue, purple, fuchsia, black, white, and brown. The event is sponsored by the Benton Park Neighborhood Association: a non-profit organization of volunteers.

Many local businesses participate and will be listed in subsequent publicity and poster. All sponsors will also be announced at the event. Judges from the community view all the artwork and awards are given. All the chalk artists are anonymous for judging.

Entry fees for Adults are $13.00 (cost of chalk) Children $1.00.
