I understand that "chalking the walk" or putting one's artwork in chalk on a sidewalk is an activity offered in many cities...and well, we're just catching on. Last night's event in front of the public library, was a first, and it was well attended by art and music lovers. I sat in a lawn chair, sipped water, ate popcorn (thank you, Cheryl), and visited with friends. We thoroughly enjoyed watching people, viewing the art as it progressed, listening to blue grass music provided by the Low Water String Band, and (of course) knitting in the shade. Another perfect summer evening!

Wow! I couldn't even manage a stick man with chalk.
ReplyDeleteOn the other hand, it's a good thing I can't. Last year, in response to some protesters, City Council made it illegal to write on sidewalks with chalk.
I guess they didn't consider that kids have been doing this for YEARS! :::rolling my eyes::: My tax dollars at work!
Wish I had been there: it looks like it was a great event!
