ABSOLUT CHALK, the world's largest public art event of its kind, will
take place on Saturday, June 28th and Sunday, June 29th, 10am to 7pm
at Pasadena City Hall adjacent to the Old Pasadena retail and
entertainment district. Over 600 visual artists, from all over Los
Angeles, Southern California and the nation, will descend onto the
civic center plaza to create spectacular murals using pastel chalks as
their medium and the pavement as their canvas. The event is FREE TO
THE PUBLIC!!!

Plenty of food, beverages, world music, arts and crafts for sale, and
much more! There will also be a walk-on chalk muraling area for
artists of all ages and an ABSOLUT ART GALLERY showing the works of
participating artists. Don't miss the 11th annual ABSOLUT CHALK Street
Painting Festival. Must be seen to be believed!!!!!!

Wonder if Kurt Wenner will be there?

Here,s a no-bullshit artist who got fame as a chalk artist. Check out
his abilities on his website.

An artist of his abilities doesn't need museums and Artzy fartzy
patronage. Read what someone with superior abilities can do without
spouting a load of pseudo-intellectual baffelgab.

I hate the shrieking noise and the feel of charcoal sticks, I can't
stand it. It's mainly because of this that I always work with a
pencil.

Yeah! Unmanly and unwomanly too! Nothing like a
hot pot of roofing tar to paint pavement with, IMHO!
With a dipper full of hot tar one can emulate
the Great Dripper or even re-create celestial sights
like the Big Dipper (connect the dots).

For improving the 'feel' and ending the 'shrieking'
you might find a little 3-in-One oil works wonders!
Or as a non-toxic alternative, a little baby oil...
