Street Chalk Art Contest

Get excited! A Street Chalk Art Contest is back at the Loomis Eggplant Street Fair.
 
The free Chalk Art Contest, which will take place at the Skatepark by the Train Depot, is an opportunity for all levels of abilities to express themselves through their art drawn on the concrete hardscape.
 
Loomis artist Brenda Dominguez, who has been part of the Loomis Art Loop in previous years and has provided beautiful artworks for all to see, is heading up the Chalk Art Contest.“I know this will bring a new dimension to the festival,” Dominguez said. “There’s so much talent in Placer County and this will be a fun place to show it off.”
 
Participants are responsible for providing their own supplies. Only solid non-toxic chalk pastels are allowed; no oil pastels or paint of any kind may be used. Bring a water spray bottle, rags, and a whisk broom. Don’t forget something to sit on such as a stool or gardening pad, a hat, sunscreen, and drinking water.
 
Chalk Art Contest images must be family-friendly. No lewd, political, or commercial images will be allowed. No stenciling will be allowed. You may have multiple squares, but only one entry will be allowed in the competition.
 
Walk-ins are welcome however if you sign up before September 15th and you will receive a free Eggplant 2023 T-Shirt!
