Description

The Luna Park Chalk Art Festival is back for its sixth year with music, food, and tons of local artists. The festival takes over the pathways of Backesto Park with chalk art not just by local professionals like Murphy Adams and Lacey Bryant, but students as well. In fact, the whole aim of the festival is to promote art in schools and raise awareness of the dismal state of art programs in public education. Proceeds from the event got to the Luna Park Arts Foundation, which in effect benefits local schools and communities through grants and sponsorships. Alongside the art there will be numerous food trucks, plus music by Cuatro Con Tres, Dogcatcher, This Is Embarrassing, Ukulele Jams, Picture Atlantic and more. (Stephen Layton)
