20th Annual Chalk-It-Up Festival 
September 4-September 6, 2010
Comment on Facebook
Chalk-It-Up! to Sacramento is a nonprofit organization created to benefit children's arts education and art activities. Funds are raised through an annual chalk art festival held each Labor Day Weekend since 1991.
The festival features over 200 sidewalk paintings created at the festival by local artists who donate their time, energy, and talent. These concrete masterpieces are left on the sidewalk for the public to enjoy throughout the month of September. The pieces are done with soft chalk pastel mixed with water.
Sponsored Squares: The numbered squares on the perimeter of the park are sponsored by local businesses and organizations. Artists volunteer to create chalk drawings for their sponsors. These are divided into five categories.
Community Squares: The community square area is free and open for the public to create their own sidewalk artwork. Chalk is supplied by the festival. Artists must keep the community chalk as well as their artwork within the confines of the community squares. We request that children be accompanied by an adult at all times.
Born in Sacramento: The Born in Sacramento area is reserved especially for native Sacramentans of all ages to make their marks. Officer Henry Luckie sponsors this area.
Entertainment: During the festival local bands, musicians, and other performers entertain the artists and the public. These performers donate their time for this festival. A list of performance times is posted near both of the stage areas.
Children's Activities: Since the aim of Chalk-It-Up! is to encourage children's art programs, all children's activities at the festival are free. These include chalk drawing and a variety of other art activities.
