This FREE<\/strong> two-day event will be held outside at NoDa Brewing Company North End<\/a><\/strong>, 150 W 32nd Street, Charlotte, NC 28206. Festival-goers will be able to see a colorful street art gallery come to life.

Creative Canvas Productions, LLC<\/a><\/strong>, a Charlotte-based event management, video production, and motion graphics design company, created the CCAF<\/strong> to preserve an art form from 16th-century Renaissance Italy. This was a time when an artist, known as a “madonnari,” made a living by receiving coins from passersby who watched 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 conceived, and in 2022, the founders of the festival held the first of its kind chalk art festival, and we’re growing year after year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
