ChalkArtWalk 2009: "Hillyard's Future?"

3 June 09:  This Saturday's twelfth annual ChalkArtWalk will be the last time the historic Hillyard sidewalks will serve as canvases for street artists and their fans in this renowned community event. That's because the 2009 streetscape project to renew the historic Market Street district will replace all the lumpy and cracked concrete with new, smooth sidewalks with colored trim designed to especially highlight the artists' masterpieces. Work on the street is scheduled to begin within the next few weeks.

Registration starts at 10am at Market and Queen, judging begins at 3pm.  First 100 artists get free ChalkArtWalk t-shirts.  This is a completely free event.
