Summer on the Streets and ArtWalk on Main are back. We will have a Summer Street Festival every 2nd Saturday, in conjunction with the Downtown Creative Crawl. This series of Summer Festivals in Downtown provides the community with consistent 2nd Saturday events filled with art, music and culture, while creating unique opportunities for fun that make Downtown a “must go” monthly destination.

SPECIAL EVENTS

CHALKMONT!
Apply here to be a Chalk Artist for Chalkmont!
On August 12 from 4pm-8pm, more than a dozen community artists will join together to create chalk art throughout 4th Avenue. These artists will turn concrete into a vivid canvas of colorful chalk art.
WHAT YOU’LL SEE : Creating these amazing works of art requires more than just scribbling on the sidewalk. First, the artist must draw an outline of the original painting in proper proportion using pencil or a charcoal pastel. Then they begin to lay the base of colors. Using a number of colored pastels, the artist layers the chalk, blending the colors to create shadow, contrast and depth. The art may not last long, but that’s sort of the point. Feeling inspired? There will be DIY art stations on the Street for artists of all ages to give Chalk art a try!
Judges will select their favorite works of art in our juried art award. Artwork is judged based on composition, creativity, ability with medium, and originality. The People’s Choice winner will be selected based on likes on the ArtWalk Longmont Facebook. Winners will be announced at the August LDDA Summer Concert. An adult artist (juried) and a youth artist (people’s choice) will receive a $100 gift card sponsored by ArtWalk Longmont, LDDA and the Firehouse Art Center!

Voting starts at 10am on 8/13 and closes at 5pm on 8/15.
