Chalk It Up!

Last weekend in San Antonio, TX, Artpace, a San Antonio based program that "serves as an international laboratory for the creation and advancement of contemporary art" put on an annual community event called Chalk It Up! This commuity cultural event brings together "San Antonio's premier artists [who] transform city sidewalks into colorful works of art". That day we saw many beautiful works of art, everyone from local artists to children were encouraged to participate. We couldn't help but think of Chalkcloth (TM), a great material that is easy to clean, easy to transport and allows you to use chalk in fun and functional ways! We'd like to thank Sable Mirelez, who took some of these photographs!
