UAA's Chugiak-Eagle River Campus is coordinating a sidewalk chalk event at the Bear Paw Festival in Eagle River on July 11 from 1-8 p.m. The Campus is currently seeking artists, either business sponsored or individual, who are interested in participating in this event. Children are also encouraged to participate.
The event will take place on the sidewalk along the street in front of Garcia's Restaurant. The artwork areas are roughly 4'x3'. Children's areas are 1.5'x1.5'. A 24-piece set of Chalk Pastels will be provided to artists.
Sample artwork can be found outside the Chugiak-Eagle River Campus. To view similar events, check out the following YouTube videos:
