Tempe Marketplace Chalk Walk: Festival of Street Paintings + Chalk MuralsApril, 2020Tempe Marketplace and the Southern Arizona Arts & Cultural Alliance are inviting artists to hit the streets - to pain them! In just seven hours, an amazing collection of artists will bring the desert pavement to colorful life in the 2019 Tempe Marketplace Chalk Walk: Festival of Street Pantings + Chalk Murals (formerly the Phoenix Chalk Art Festival).
Attendees can watch professional artists create 5-foot murals in a variety of themes throughout each of the shopping centers or grab a piece of chalk and make their own colorful addition. Each location will feature unique murals created by local artists and an imaginative community mural zone where everyone can get in on the fun. Why?As a core Business and Arts Integration method, the Phoenix Chalk Art festival provides unique opportunities for community-driven creative experiences in public spaces. SAACA supports this unique arts approach to expand opportunities for local artists to exhibit, develop and showcase their craft in the community while simultaneously giving youth and emerging artists the opportunity to participate in the arts in a new way.
