Should I apply to be an artist?

Short answer: yes! This event is for everyone to show off their creativity. You don't need to be a professional to have fun. This is a great opportunity for a creative kiddo wanting to try something new, or a bonding experience for your family. You could use this as a team building opportunity for your staff, or gain exposure as an artist. 

The Divisions:

  • 12 - 17

  • 18+

  • Group: All ages

The Application Fee:

  • $25 for individuals

  • $50 for a group up to 4 people

  • Includes: T-shirt per person, food voucher per person (to use at a participating food truck), and 1 set of chalk

Application deadline: July 5th!
