The Salida Chalk Festival will take place Saturday, June 29, 9:00am to 7:00pm in downtown Salida. Produced by the Salida Creative District and Salida Arts and Culture in partnership with the Salida Public Arts Commission, the 1st Salida Chalk Festival will transform downtown Salida into a giant outdoor gallery of colorful murals as artists create 5’ x 5’ temporary art works of chalk and pastel. Like the historical tradition of Madonnari street artists of Italy, local artists will create works of chalk art in real time during the festival. This year's theme is SWEET HOME SALIDA. 💛 Artists, community, and youth are invited to create colorful works of chalk that celebrate our unique Salida surroundings and community. Enjoy colorful art, live music and concessions during the Festival. Celebration and Awards ceremony for community, individual, and youth teams such as Judges Choice and People’s Choice at 5:30pm on event day. Free ChalkArt 101 Workshop for the community held prior to the event. Watch for details! Calls for local artists open now at:
