Chalk Art: Info
Valley Art Association's Sidewalk Chalk Art Festival has been a Forest Grove signature event since 1990. The festival falls on the third Saturday of September every year rain or shine.
The festival brings an explosion of color, vitality and a sense of community to the downtown area. People of all ages and artistic skills will purchase their large sidewalk space which includes a tray of rich, colorful chalk to create their masterpieces on the sidewalks of Main Street. There is no competition, only admiration and amazement at the variety of drawings that are generated this day. A Bizarrt Show (self-supported sculptures) is another way for creative people to show what they can do. Music, balloons, puppetry, and performances will round out the day.
A pre-registration event will take place at Valley Art Gallery, 2022 Main Street, on Wednesday, Sept. 15th from 5-7:30 pm. You can also register on the day of the event, Sept. 18th, beginning at 8 am.
Cost:
$10.00 for non-members of Valley Art and $7.00 for members will include one sidewalk square and a tray of colorful chalk.
