The chalk walk will be an event where K-12th grade RSA students, other local school, artists and other community members will gather to draw with chalk on the sidewalks downtown. Each artist will be assigned to a square where they will complete a drawing. Artists will compete by age range/grade levels to win prizes.

Local community members of all ages are welcome to attend the event on Saturday and purchase a square. Local artists will be contacted and asked to draw in the competition as well.

RSA students will prepare in advance a sketch of a chalk drawing in their art classroom during the school week.  Students will be encouraged to attend on Saturday May, 9th to compete in the competition.
