About Us

Be A Square Sponsor

Advertise your business! For a $500 donation, your business name will be chalked above one of the pieces of art and photographed by thousands of attendees. There are also a limited number of 3-D chalk drawings which can be sponsored for a $1000 tax-deductible donation. A great way to be a visible support of the arts!

Artist Interest

Meet Our Featured Artists

These are the pros. The OGs. Those who have been crafting their chalk art mastery for decades. We are pleased to have five featured artists who will WOW you with their pieces that are awe-inspiring and worth of framing - if only we could fit the street into a frame.

Back on the Blacktop

The Denver Chalk Art Festival started in 2003, historically occurring during June on the streets of Larimer Square. In 2020, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Festival took place in driveways and on sidewalks around Denver. 


In 2021, the tradition returned with dozens of artists creating temporary chalk artworks at the Cherry Creek Arts Festival, where event-goers could enjoy both festivals together. 


In 2022, the Festival found a new home on the streets of the Golden Triangle. We can't think of a better place to bring art to life in Denver!

CherryArts Partnership

The Denver Chalk Art Festival and CherryArts have collaborated previously on outreach programs and last year's partnership took it up a notch. In 2022, CherryArts will continue to support the Denver Chalk Art Festival, in its new home in the Golden Triangle district. CherryArts exists to provide access to art experiences and support arts education in Colorado. See more about CherryArts online.
