"VIA COLORI: Art form graces city sidewalks"

My chalk painting "The elephants" published in my favorite newspaper "The Free Lance-Star" (September 22, 2014)!

VIA COLORI 2014

Via Colori Fredericksburg (2014) featured over 100 artists creating 3D and 2D images on Charlotte and Sophia Streets near the Riverfront Park in downtown Fredericksburg, VA.  

 

"Via Colori® is the modern day version of a centuries-old tradition in which dozens of volunteer artists create large scale pastel artworks directly on the pavement of our city's streets. Proceeds will go for the first time to the Grace Oughton Cancer Foundation, which strives to provide comfort and relief to families facing pediatric cancer."

This was my second year participating in the Via Colori Fredericksburg Festival as an artist.
