Join us as we celebrate the spectacle of a 500-year-old performance art tradition, Italian street painting. With this years theme... a little funny... and a little spooky, Halloween style!!
Come watch as hundreds of artists transform South Pineapple Avenue into a one-of-a-kind chalk art gallery for 40,000 visitors. Jay Schwartz from California states, "the biggest allure of the medium is that it is a pure art form - a mix of Fine Art and Performance Art. The paintings are ephemeral - vulnerable to the elements - and only viewing them in context can provide a lasting impression."
