It’s the time of year for Roswell’s most creative citizens to turn the Spring River Trail into their canvas. Gather your friends, family, classmates, community group, or come on your own to create a sidewalk full of color during September’s Second Saturday and Chalk the Walk event! Chalk the Walk is a chalk art contest that celebrates the innovation and creativity of the community. Each year, dozens of amateur artists of all ages work on squares in hopes of winning an award, or simply just for the fun of it. Artists, as individuals or teams, kids and adults, will draw with provided chalk pastel in designated squares in front of the Museum along the Spring River Trail starting at 8 a.m. and continuing through 1 p.m. Different this year, all ages of participants, working as teams or individuals, can reserve either size square, 5-feet-by-5-feet for $15 or 30-inches by 40-inches for $10.

Artists may elect to work within the provided themes and categories or draw something of their own choosing. Awards will be given for youth and adults in the five thematic categories, and the best young artist and people’s choice will have single winners. Like was done by the original 16th century street painters, reproductions of famous artworks are allowed, as long as the original artwork is credited. Awards are chosen by local, anonymous judges.

Event may end later than 2:30 PM. Please call for more information.
