GALLERIA D'ARTE
This year's Galleria d'Arte (Gallery of Art) will feature reproductions of the chalk art masterpieces along with wines from various regions of Italy. Each participating artist will be given the opportunity to produce a replica on canvas of their featured piece in any medium they choose including pencil, ink, oil, watercolor, and of course, pastels, and sell it at the Galleria. Once the chalk art drawings are washed away on Sunday night, these replicas will be the only works that remain.
KIDS CORNER
Be sure to stop by the Kempe Kids Corner to create your own masterpiece! For a small donation, your child can get their own bag of chalk and goodies and take to the pavement to create their own work of art. Donations benefit LAA and the Kempe Center for Prevention and Treatment of Child Abuse and Neglect.
