Chalk Festival Organizers Invite Artists to Participate April 12

            Artists of all ages are invited to show their talents on the sidewalks of Glendora Village during its annual Chalk Festival on Saturday, April 12 (rain date April 19).

            The eighth annual Chalk Festival is sponsored by the Glendora Village Business Improvement District.

Best 3-D winner at 2013 Chalk Festival

            Artists compete in three age divisions: Juniors (10-13 years), $10 entry fee; Students (14-17 years), $10 fee; Adults (18+ years), $20 fee. Team participation is limited to two individuals per exhibit.

            Registration forms will be available at Village Goldsmith, 158 N Glendora Ave, Glendora, CA 91741, along with registration fees.

            Space is limited, so artists should sign up as soon as possible for this in-demand showcase.

            More than $500 in cash prizes will be awarded :  Best of Show $100, Crowd Favorite $100, best 3D Design $100. There will be two winners in each division:  $75 adult winners, $50 student winners, $25 junior winners.

            Square sponsors at $30 per square are being sought; call Quenya Pollokoff at (626) 201-3032 for information.

            The popular Children’s Chalk Garden returns to the parking lot adjacent to Southland Properties. This is an opportunity for little ones who are too young to participate as an actual artist to try their hand drawing with chalk on 2-foot by 2-foot squares for 50 cents for a small bag of chalk.

            For the first time, there will be a Community Canvas on The Avenue and a Featured Artists Arena in the Village Plaza.

            For more information contact Elaina Phillips at Village Goldsmith, (626) 335-2723, or Annette Nemeth at Glendora Interiors, (626) 335-7229.
