The 30th Annual Chalk It Up Chalk Art and Music Festival comes to life on sidewalks, parking lots and driveways throughout the Greater Sacramento Region on Saturday, Sunday and Monday, September 5-7, 2020. With Covid-19 restrictions on public gatherings, the festival is transforming into Chalk It Up! Around The Town.
In lieu of the annual art and music event held at Fremont Park in midtown Sacramento, Chalk It Up! All Around Town will see volunteer chalk artists dispatched to locations throughout the greater Sacramento region to bring their passion to the pavement all to increase support for critical youth art education!
This year's social distancing is necessary in order to stop the spread of Covid-19, so Chalk It Up! Around The Town offers art fans, sponsors and just about anyone the unique chance to have a Chalk It Up! Art Masterpiece created at any location around town. The fees paid for these personal art creations will directly strengthen the mission of Chalk It Up! to empower and support the next generation of Sacramento artists through targeted art grants for young artists and the programs that inspire them.
ChalkItUp.org will soon feature an interactive map to help art fans find the chalk activation that is in their neighborhood.
What about the music? Sacramento musicians will support Chalk It Up’s mission by creating a three-day live music stream of sets from their quarantine locations. Music streams available through ChalkItUp.org. Confirmed bands include Dog Party, Kevin and Allyson Seconds, Kepi, Honyock, Californios, Ryan Thompson, Gabe Nelson, Seas of Bees and Lightrays (more to be announced).
