2022 Chocolate & Chalk Art Festival (Berkeley)

The sidewalks along Shattuck and Cedar streets in North Berkeley are the target of artists young and old, professional and greenhorn during the 23rd CHOCOLATE CHALARFESTIVAL on Saturday, August 13, 10AM-5PM.
MAKE ART!  With no fees to artists, areas of sidewalk are assigned for you to create your own fanciful chalk drawings. The theme for this year is “Chalking Beautiful Music”.  Families or groups may work together, artists may work alone, but everyone comes away with a sense of pride in their work for all to see.  First 10 to pre-register at Eventbrite get a free box of chalk where you may also purchase tickets for chocolate. Otherwise, register in person on Saturday, August 13 at the event booths at Shattuck & Vine or Shattuck & Cedar where a box of colorful artist’s chalk is available for $10 cash for a box of 24 or $20 for a box of 48.
A CHALK ART CONTEST for the best drawing will be judged after 4PM.  Top three winners will receive cash prizes ($150/$100/$50).  Ten runners up get a $25 gift certificate from Books, Inc.  Winners will be notified by Wednesday after the event.  See prior winners at https://www.anotherbullwinkelshow.com/chalk-art-2021/
