media release: Join the Museum of Wisconsin Art (MOWA) at its annual Art & Chalk Fest—a live arts weekend on Saturday and Sunday, August 16–17 in West Bend, WI. This FREE, outdoor, live arts festival is set amidst the museum’s four-acre campus and features artists from the Wisconsin arts community.

Experience chalk artists creating large-scale works of chalk art right before your eyes, watch a glass-blowing demo in a mobile hot shop, or see clay sculpted into handmade vessels on a pottery wheel all while listening to live music. Visit the expanded Activity Zone to participate in Chalk the Street or get creative with hands-on art projects. Enjoy the best of Wisconsin art with FREE museum admission on Saturday and Sunday.

Art & Chalk Fest brings together a diverse pool of creatives in celebration. For two jam-packed days, live art will animate the museum grounds.

Chalk artists will render amazing large-scale compositions on a 10×10-foot parcel of pavement. Throughout the two days, stop back to see the creations come to life, from initial sketches to full-blown ephemeral works of art.
