Key West Art In Public Places Board presents ChalkFest 2013. This performance art extravaganza was a success last year and is sure to be bigger and better this year. It is quite an extraordinary show where the public can watch the artist each day, go from a box of chalk and a 10x10 concrete square, to an outline, and then to a masterpiece. The ChalkFest artists will begin creating their works on Thursday November 21 and must finish by noon, Saturday November 23. The judging will then begin, followed by a presentation of awards at approximately 2pm. From 10 am to 6 pm each day, the public is invited to experience the art in progress as local and visiting artists use colorful chalks to transform the walkway into a series of individual artworks. Sunday November 24 is open to the public for viewing. The ChalkFest is to take place along the promenade adjacent to the USCGC Ingham Museum at the Truman Waterfront.
The Artists consist of professional Chalk Artists, to locally renowned artists such as Rick Worth and 7th and 8th grade students from the Key West Montessori Charter School.
The public is invited to bring a picnic
and experience this performance art as it unfolds. ChalkFest is
sponsored in part by Ibis Bay Beach Resort and is a pet-friendly event.
Bring your own four-legged friend or meet a new one; adoptable critters
from the Florida Keys SPCA will visit ChalkFest Saturday morning. Other
Saturday events include a Key West Montessori Charter School bake sale
and a kid’s creativity area for any children who wish to chalk. Come and join in the fun, socialize, eat, wander and enjoy the creative spirit of Key West. For more information on ChalkFest, visit artinpublicplaceskw.com or contact Michael Shields at (305) 394-3804 / javastudios@gmail.com.
