Each year, we talk about how much we love the Denver Chalk Art Festival.
But for 2016’s version, which happened on Saturday and Sunday, June 4 and 5, we took a look at the fest from a different angle.
Typically, we visit on Sundays – the second of the annual two-day event in Larimer Square – when most of the pieces are finished.
This time, however, we stopped by at around 5:30 p.m. on Saturday, when the temperatures were cooler (a little, anyhow), the crowds not quite as thick (giving folks who don’t look like basketball players a better chance to see), and most of the artworks still in progress.
Will you step up to support Westword this year?
At Westword, we’re small and scrappy — and we make the most of every dollar from our supporters. Right now, we’re $20,000 away from reaching our December 31 goal of $50,000. If you’ve ever learned something new, stayed informed, or felt more connected because of Westword, now’s the time to give back.
The results offered a fresh take on one of Denver’s best events – one that just happens to be free.
Check out 27 photos of masterpieces in the making, with a few all-but-finished products thrown in for fun.
