CHALK IT UP
Presented in conjunction with Harrington Center for the Arts
Sponsored by American Fork PARC Program
Artists fill the sidewalks with unique and exciting artwork at the Steel Days annual Chalk It Up art festival! Chalk It Up is a free, three-day-long art event on the sidewalks surrounding Art Dye Park’s brand-new baseball diamonds. Chalk It Up is an opportunity to enjoy art by local artists, music, and the Steel Days carnival, food trucks and vendors while artists perfect their masterpieces.
Chalking the streets isn’t just for the pros either! Two classes for beginners and amateurs will be offered on Wednesday, July 8th leading up to the festival which starts Thursday morning. Chalk will also be provided during the festival for all ages to test out their skills. Attendees will be able to vote for their favorite chalk art masterpiece in the categories of Best of Show, 75th Anniversary, and each of the age categories.
