The 2021 Capital Chalk Art Fair

The Capital Chalk Art Fair is an event ran by Capital Arts Gallery that takes place every year in August/September here in Jefferson City at one of our parks. During the event, anyone can sign up, receive a bag of chalk and a designated “square” on the sidewalk, and can then draw/color whatever they like in their square. On Saturday, kids of all ages were on their hands and knees creating amazing works of art and beautifying the sidewalk. Others who attended the event were able to partake in the many different art booths and make art with water guns filled with paint, colored bubbles, and even tie-dye their own Chalk Art shirt.
