Chalk Art Festival

The first annual Northampton Chalk Art Festival is scheduled for “Arts Night Out” on Friday, September 10, 2010. Work will take place at six downtown locations from 8 am until 4 pm on the day of the event. The public is encouraged to watch the chalk art pieces develop and to view completed drawings in the evening while enjoying Northampton’s monthly gallery walk from 5-8pm.

Following an open call and a juried selection process, six applicants have been invited to render their work in chalk on 5’x5’ cement canvases located throughout downtown Northampton. Each artist receives a $100 stipend. In addition, cash prizes of $250, $150, and $100 will be awarded by a panel of judges for the top three creations.Details about the locations and the artists are at www.nohoarts.org.
