[1]Sarasota Chalk Festival Finale Today.
Come join the Sarasota Chalk Festival today as the 2011 event winds up. Over 250 artists are in attendance for the last day of viewing before the streets open back up and the artwork fades away.
I had the opportunity to interview master artist, architect and inventor of 3D chalk artistry Kurt Wenner. One of his comments on “OUR” Chalk Festival was:
“What Denise (Kowal) does is take the art form more seriously and fly in people who have different experiences, making it a much more important event. Instead of just having one headline artist and a bunch of local artists, you have people from around the world coming here. For many of the artists it is the first time they have seen each others work. So she’s not only creating an event for Sarasota, but an event that will actually have an influence on the art form itself, which is what the other events haven’t managed to do.”
Thank you Denise for another wonderful event!
