Watch sidewalks come to life as artists create colorful chalk art in Springfield. Over 75 artists will participate in the Springfield Art & Chalk Fest, where participants have up to six hours and a 6 by 6 foot space to construct their chalk creations. The family-friendly event will also feature street performers, jugglers, hula hoop- ers, DJ Eric Sutton and the Ridgeline Ukulele Extravaganza. Now in its third year, the Art & Chalk fest will award prizes for chalk art in adult and youth categories with prizes ranging from $100 to $600. New to the festival this year is the UpStream Art project — a city of Springfield art installation to promote awareness of local rivers, aquatic life and water habitats. Artists will paint illustrations on storm drains for the “Drain to Stream” theme during the festival to show what types of pollutants can find their way into streams and rivers. Sprout!, Claim 52 Abbey and 100 Mile Bakery will be open, so if the weather gets too hot, festival-goers can cool off with drinks, food and live music. Artie — the Imagination Art Bus — will also be at the festival for kids and family activities. The crowd is encouraged to watch artists in action throughout the day.
