Virginia Beach Chalk the Walk ARTsplosion

From Virginia Beach Chalk the Walk ARTsplosion Website:

Chalk the Walk takes over the Virginia Beach Boardwalk as hundreds of artists and wanna-be artists gather to turn the boardwalk into an impromptu canvas of color! Artist registration will be on the boardwalk at 17th Street, and art will be displayed for two blocks between 17th and 15th Streets.

At Chalk the Walk, participants draw four by four foot chalk drawings for three blocks along the boardwalk.

200 competitors will complete chalk drawings to be evaluated by a panel of judges from the Virginia Museum of Contemporary Art in Virginia Beach. Judges will score the drawings according to criteria such as composition, use of color, adherence to theme, and creativity. There will be three competitive divisions: Amateur, Professional, and Youth. Children 11 and under will be invited to draw for fun in a separate area. Trophies and cash prizes will be awarded for each division.
