Center Place Chalk Walk and BLFA Artfest

Art vendors are wanted for a "Celebration of the Arts” festival on tap for Sept. , where both the novice and more experienced artist — from toddler to senior citizen — will be taking chalk to sidewalk to create unique works of art.

For the event, the Center Place Fine Arts & Civic Association, in partnership with the Brandon League of Fine Arts, for its annual Artfest, is turning both the Sandy Rodriguez Center on Vonderburg Drive, and the sidewalks surrounding the lake off Parsons Avenue, into a community canvas and showcase of art.

Local artists will display their work, items for the end- of the-year holidays will be on sale and lunch will be available to purchase.

Children ages 3 and up are invited to participate alongside the adults, with chalk- to-sidewalk activities. Additional activities are scheduled along with art demonstrations, performances, magic shows, face-painting and music.

Each attendee will receive a box of chalk and be assigned a sidewalk section on which to use the chalk. Coupons and giveaways from local businesses, including the town’s rich array of small businesses, will be on hand for distribution.

The Center Place Chalk Walk is begin staged in conjunction with the Brandon League of Fine Arts’ second annual Artfest fundraiser. The event is being sponsored by Chick-fil-A of Lake Brandon Village, Paul and Tammy Holmberg, Kappa Kappa, Coastland Church and the Pat’s Corner gift shop at Center Place.

The event is free but tickets are required. The tickets are available for distribution at Center Place starting Aug. 1.
