The Arts Council of Greater Weston announces the return of Chalk in the Park, a growing community favorite. It will be held on Saturday, October 19 from 11:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. at Library Park.
This year’s theme is “Word Play,” so start thinking about incorporating words into your artwork, either by creating images that represent puns, drawing scenes inspired by idioms, or simply decorating words with artistic flourishes. Lifrancis Rojas, artist and ACGW Board Member suggest, “The “Word Play Chalk Contest” in the park invites participants to creatively illustrate idioms using colorful chalk. Artists will bring phrases like “It’s raining cats and dogs” and “bending over backwards” to life on the sidewalks, turning the park into a playful outdoor gallery. Families will enjoy guessing the idioms, and judging will focus on creativity, accuracy, and artistic skill, blending humor, art, and language.
Cash prizes will be awarded.
To round out the day, there will be a DJ, ice cream vendor and photo ops.
The event is free, and participation is on a first-come, first-serve basis. Chalk will be provided but feel free to bring your own; it must comply with the Chalk in the Park Rules and Regulations. For more details, please visit our website at www.1weston.com.
“It will be exciting to see what the community creates this year, with the Word Play theme. We are always grateful for the opportunity to partner with the Arts Council of Greater Weston to provide platforms that showcase the artistic talents of individuals of all ages”, says Annalisa Walker, Special Events Manager for the City of Weston.
Laura Dobrzanski, President of the Art’s Council said, “We are thrilled to partner with the City of Weston once more to usher in the fall season with an imaginative outdoor event. This gathering will offer families and their neighbors a wonderful opportunity to unite, showcase their artistic talents, and craft something heartfelt and unique.”
