The Annual Charlotte Chalk Art Festival (CCAF) features a friendly competition between local and regional chalk art artists ages 12+ (youth individuals and youth teams of up to three), and ages 18+ (adult individuals). All competitors must APPLY, BY OCTOBER 6th.
This FREE two-day event will be held outside at NoDa Brewing Company North End, 150 W 32nd Street, Charlotte, NC 28206. Festival-goers will be able to see a colorful street art gallery come to life. A variety of music offerings, family-friendly fun activities, food, beverages, arts, crafts, and retail vendors will be on hand for all to patronize.
Creative Canvas Productions, LLC, a Charlotte-based event management, video production, and motion graphics design company, created the CCAF to preserve an art form from 16th-century Renaissance Italy. This was a time when an artist aka “madonnari” made a living off of coins received from passersby watching them recreate chalk paintings of the Madonna while traveling from one village to another. The Charlotte art scene started bustling in 2018, the year the idea was born, and in 2022 the founders of the festival held the first of its kind chalk art festival and we’re growing year after year.
