Chalk It Up to Sacramento

Art, Media and Publications;Education;Non-ProfitAccount Description
Chalk It Up was first established in 1991 through the hard work of local artists and community art supporters. As a non-profit arts organization, we are best known for the three-day chalk art festival held annually over Labor Day Weekend in downtown Sacramento’s Fremont Park. Now in it’s 34th year, the festival is a celebration of our region’s arts and artists. Over the 3-day festival hundreds of artists, musicians, local craft and food vendors, and volunteers, with the financial support of donors and sponsors, fuel the festival, promoting community pride, civic participation, and social connection. The number of visitors to this free event has grown exponentially over the last three years and is now hosting over 40,000 festival attendees. It is Chalk It Up’s mission to empower and support the next generation of Sacramento artists through targeted art grants for young artists and the programs that inspire them. We do this by awarding $500 mini-grants through our Youth Arts Grant Program biannually, and by holding the annual High School Self-Portrait Show each Spring to showcase our region’s talented high school artists. We believe that the arts, arts education, and festivals like the Chalk It Up Festival all promote belonging and social connections, which are vital to healthy, thriving communities. The Chalk It Up Festival, the grants, and the student art show are all funded and operated by generous volunteers, donors, community partners, and sponsors.Company Address
