Italian Street Painting
Registration fee to paint
Anyone from professional artists to little DaVincis who feel that paper and pencils are not grand enough for a personal
masterpiece is welcome in the “performance” experience. Side by side, artists will fill the pavement “canvases” with their
own unique inspirations using special chalks. As space is limited, early registration is suggested to avoid disappointment.
Registration for artists participating in the Italian Street Painting may be made at Art and Clay on Main 150 W. Main Street,
Lancaster, Ohio 43130. Phone 740-653-1755. The painting starts on the morning of the 20th (around 9:00 a.m.).Artists should
finish their work for viewing at during ARTWALK on the 23rd.
