Chalk the Block

ABOUT CHALK THE BLOCK

Chalk the Block is a two day event featuring artists designing and drawing large scale temporary artworks at the town square at Easton Town Center. The public watches while over 30 artists each work on unique designs that match their aesthetic.

Saturday's main event is the drawing day. Artists work all day on 10' designs while listening to the music of a half dozen local musical acts. At the end of the day, awards are given out in several categories.

Sunday, the audience is invited back to see the finished products and see who was awarded.
