Be sure to stop by the community-draw area where all are welcomed to make their mark! This is a family friendly\, free\, accessible event. We suggest coming through once mid-morning\, and again at the end of the day to see the finished work. If you miss the actual event\, take a walk and see it all before rain washes it away.
\n\n\;
\n\nArtists are invited to reserve a 3&prime\; x 3&prime\; or 4&prime\; x 4&prime\; square of pavement on which to draw a design of their choosing.
\n\nApproximately 30 spots along the Harborwalk&ndash\;as well as locations throughout downtown Belfast and Steamboat Landing Park&ndash\; are marked out\, assigned to a registered artist\, and ready for drawing. Experienced artists seeking one of two larger area can inquire upon registering.
\n\nWhile advanced registration is required\, participation is free\; chalks\, rags\, knee pads and water are provided\, along with a slew of tips and resources for newbies. All that is needed is family-friendly subject matter&ndash\;artists can let Chalk Walk planners know about their ideas ahead of time. Organizers at Waterfall Arts encourage artists of all sorts to give this drawing festival a shot.
\n\nThose uneasy about being watched while working may reserve one of a limited number of spots to be completed the day before the event. \; Waterfall Arts is specifically looking for chalkers to draw up way-finding arrows on September 22.
\n\nYoung artists are always encouraged at All Ages Art Happenings hosted by Waterfall Arts. Artists under age 15 can register for a 3&prime\; x 3&prime\; spot\, alongside fellow up-and-comers while anyone (and everyone) is welcomed to draw in the community drawing area.
\n\nThe Belfast Chalk Walk is free to the public\; donations are very much welcomed to cover the cost of supplies.
