Larimer Square's
Denver Chalk Art Festival

Denver Chalk Art Festival is having its 8th Anniversary! Once again, Larimer Square will be transformed by local artists into a living street museum. As a valuable member of our arts community, we're seeking your help this year. This year's chalk festivities will be brighter and better than ever with more artists, expanded concessions, the Wine Pavilion, Kids Corner, and more.

It's free to participate, and Larimer Arts provides lunch and breakfast both days and other goodies. We welcome anyone who is interested - even if they have never thought about working in this medium before. For those who would like some pointers on working with chalk on the pavement, we host a workshop on the Friday night before the event that is led by one of our professional madonnari.

Artists can register online, and anyone can find more information at www.larimerarts.org.

During times of limited funding from grants and philanthropy, Art for Ransom is asking the community, "Where would we be without access to art?" We are asking artists, "What would YOUR art be without access to community?"

Art for Ransom will ransom access to areas of the RedLine exhibit space, progressively revealing the work of area artists ranging from young students to noteworthy professionals. We are asking artists and patrons from the community to come together and combine micro-donations with magnanimous gestures to reveal the collective work we all need to support!
