Salmon Run

"Chalk" One Up For The Artists!

Over 100 local artists of all ages and experience levels shared a beautiful day of great fun and hard work. UVAA's Salmon Run Project sponsored the Chalk Walk at the First Annual Harvest Festival in Stewart Park on Saturday, Sept 30th. The  artists, working as individuals or in groups, completed 50 salmon-themed chalk art designs in 6' x 6' spaces on the park's paved walking path. The project committee provided basic colors of chalk and many artists also brought their own non-toxic, non-permanent special colors or chalk-based paint. This free event inspired creativity, generated enthusiasm and fostered a wonderful sense of community among the artists as well as the hundreds of "muses" who enjoyed watching the artists in action. Because of its success, plans are in place to repeat the Chalk Walk at next year's Harvest Festival.
