Interactive & competitive sidewalk chalk art & a celebration of living, working, and buying locally
On Saturday, September 10, H Street Main Street and CHAMPS
present the first ever Chalk Walk on H Street. The H Street Chalk Walk is a
day-long event that will allow attendees to watch artists working live, in
partnership with H Street businesses, to create sidewalk art with the theme,
“My Neighborhood is My Business.”
The Chalk Walk will begin at 10 a.m. when artists start working
on their creations. Visitors are encouraged to stroll the street and watch the
artists work and will have an opportunity to leave their mark on a community
mural at 3rd and H Streets, NE. Restaurants on the street will be taking part in
a “Brunch Around,” and will be offering discounts and specials for this unique
event.
The artists must complete their pieces by 3pm, and from 3pm
until 6:30 p.m., their work will be on view to the public who will be able to vote
on the pieces that they feel best embody the “My Neighborhood is My Business”
theme. From 6:30 p.m. until 7:30 p.m., votes will be tallied and judges will
deliberate to determine their favorites. The People’s Choice and the Judges’
Choices will be announced at 7:30 p.m. at Little Miss Whiskey’s Golden Dollar (1104 H St).

As an artist how does one participate in the event? Is there an application form?
