Let’s Talk Chalk
Every summer, we put together this event so that hundreds of skilled artists can create large colorful chalk murals in a wide variety of styles and subject matter. They range in both style and subject matter, including funny or whimsical illustrations, portraits of people, recreations of masterpieces, incredible original designs, adorable characters, moving tributes, powerful statements, and just plain jaw-dropping art.
We’d like to thank everyone who joined us for the 2025 Pasadena Chalk Festival. Thank you for braving not only the heat, but the political tumult with us and coming together to create another Museum Without Walls. We treasure this event and it doesn’t happen without our participating artists, volunteers, sponsors, or all the wonderful art lovers who come to see the chalk murals.
All funds raised through merchandise and our unique Silent Auction support the arts education programs of Light Bringer Project throughout the year. We thank you for showing us your support so that we can continue to offer these programs to local youth.
Artist’s Applications will be posted come spring 2026.
We encourage you to follow us for up-to-date information @pasadenachalkfestival
