Head down to the historic Larimer Square to witness over 200 artists come together to create stunning chalk art on the streets during the Denver Chalk Art Festival. This event is open to everyone, from professionals to amateurs and families with children, and it aims to showcase artistic skills while promoting the arts scene in Denver. For those not artistically inclined, there will be live music, food, drinks, wine, and local brews to enjoy while admiring the unique art. The festival features five renowned artists who are true masters of their craft, having honed their skills over decades. Their awe-inspiring pieces are worth framing, but unfortunately, the street is too large to fit into a frame. Cherry Arts and the Denver Chalk Art Festival have a long-standing collaboration, having previously worked on outreach programs.
