Eighty
artists will take over The Avenue tomorrow (rain date next Saturday, April 19)
during the 2014 Chalk Festival.
The
sidewalks between along Glendora Avenue from Foothill Boulevard to Bennett
Avenue will become canvasses for the artworks created by artists of all ages.
Artists compete
in three age divisions: Juniors (10-13 years), Students (14-17 years), and
Adults (18+ years). More than $500 in cash prizes will be awarded: Best of Show $100, Crowd Favorite $100, best
3D Design $100. There will be two winners in each division: $75 adult winners, $50 student winners, $25
junior winners.
You don’t
have to be an artist to enjoy the festival. You can even vote for the “Crowd
Favorite” winner.
