Chalkfest returns to the campus of UW-Eau Claire

UW-Eau Claire has several large sidewalks running through it, where registered artists of all ages from throughout the community will create elaborate, large-scale chalk artwork. Throughout the day, artists will create their work as thousands of visitors watch their drawings come to life. Participants are encouraged to pre-register to reserve a spot.

Schedule:

7am-10am: Artist check-in and artwork begins,
Staff will provide registration materials and show you to your assigned space. You may not check-in or begin chalking before 7am. This is to ensure all artists are judged fairly.

11am-7pm: Art is open to the public. Food vendors and activities will be on the campus mall.

11am-4:30pm: Audience Choice voting

2pm-4pm: Judging

5:30pm: Live announcement of winners on the campus mall

7pm: Event Conclusion

If there is rain/inclement weather, we will move the entire festival to Sunday, July 27.
