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.
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 (to be announced soon!)
Be the star of the show! We will have over 100 artists participating, many of whom have been a part of the festival in the past. Here are the brief Rules & Regs for artists. Read that information first, and if you are interested in joining us as an artist, please reach out to us.
Various levels of sponsorship are available and support from underwriters will allow the festival to operate. With a wide variety of options, why not start a conversation with us?
Advertise your business! For a $450 donation, your business name will be chalked above one of the pieces of art and photographed by thousands of attendees. A great way to be a visible support of the arts!
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.
