Fifteen professional chalk artists from across the country are coming to Beaverton and will create large scale art on the pavement at the Walker Road/Cedar Hills Boulevard end of the mall during the two-day event. They'll be joined by an equal number of local artists also working in a large format. In addition, children will have an opportunity to create their very own chalk art in a 2' x 2' square. Blick Art Supplies is providing all the chalk for the festival; and the event is free thanks to sponsorship from other local businesses, Cedar Hills Crossing, City of Beaverton, and members of the community. My sincere thanks to everyone involved.
Artists booths, live music, and children's free art activities will round out the festivities. Be sure to stop at my art booth during your time at the festival and see what I've been working on during the last year, then visit the Washington County Open Studios booth and learn about the 58 artists who will have their studios open the weekend of October 19 and 20. During both days of the festival, WCOS will provide materials for young visitors to create a piece of artwork using finger paints. My home studio in Beaverton is on the Washington County tour this year so be sure to come see me in October.
Free festival, free live music, free art activities for the kids - what more could you ask for!
