Venice Chalk Festival

November 15 - 18, 2019 Hailed as the most important pavement art event in the world, the International Chalk Festival will celebrate the theme GARDEN OF WONDERS "a tribute to the marvels of the natural world and the human imagination."

The festival affords a once-a-year opportunity to become an integral part of the fine art creative process. From start to finish, you can witness the largest gathering of renowned pavement artists perform using the road surface as a canvas to develop oversized masterpieces in chalk.

In addition to the pavement artists who travel from all over the world, the festival organization invites anyone, of any skill level, to sign up as an artist and work alongside the professionals, creating their own pavement paintings. No other cultural organization mixes the most renown with beginners better than this festival, giving novice pavement and student artists a truly unique opportunity.

Other performing artists are invited to sign up and help enhance the theme. Other activities include the Pavement Music Festival, Food Trucks, Beer Gardens, Vendors, and family fun interactive art areas inspiring the 'Young and Young-at-Heart' to create impromptu mini-masterpieces or scribbles while visiting the festival.
