Santa Monica Chalk Art Festival

As we help to keep each other healthy by staying home in Santa Monica, Brock On Your Block and the Santa Monica Mirror want you to add some splashes of color to our surroundings. We invite everyone to try their hand at “Chalk Art!” Whether you are the next Van Gogh or you have never even picked up a paintbrush, you can join in our fun.

Create your art on your sidewalk or driveway, or in your yard. Posters are fine too. Send a photo or video (10 seconds max) to  BrockonyourBlock@gmail.com. Or, you can email a request for our team to come to your address to film.

You will see your art memorialized in the Santa Monica Mirror online edition at SMMirror.com starting Tuesday, April 7th!
