Virtual Chalk Art Exhibit/Chalk Art Awards
Chalking happened with a twist at this year’s festival, providing a comfortable and inclusive environment for all ages and abilities to easily participate in creating their chalk masterpieces using Ampersand boards at our chalk area tent. And what masterpieces they are! Students, seniors, professional and emerging artists of all ages, and generations of families participated in making art. As a bonus, the artists were able to take these beauties home with them, photograph them, and send us photos for our exhibit!

This virtual exhibit can also be viewed 24/7 from the front windows of our new City Arts Center at 231 East Main Street in Downtown Round Rock!
