1st Annual Chalk Up Conroe Event
March 30, 2011
The first Annual Chalk Up Conroe Event will be Saturday, April 9, 2011 from 9am to 6pm at Conroe Founders Plaza on Main Street and Metcalf Street next to the Owen Theatre. Eleven artists including Lynn Peverill and Joe Kolb will be participating in the FREE event for the entire family. Come and see art come to life before your eyes right on the sidewalk.
Chalk Art began in the 16th century Renaissance Italy when artists began transforming asphalt into canvas using chalk. The artist were called madonnari, after their customary practice of recreating chalk paintings of the Madonna. Historically, madonnari, were know for their life of travel and freedom, making their living from coins received by passersby.
Everyone is invited to view this art work in all stages of progress, from layout and design, to applying colors to the finished creation. This event benefits Breast Cancer Research and is sponsored by Conroe Live, Inc., The Linda Watson Gallery and the Gallery Off the Square (Thomas Kinkade).
