Chalk the Block is a massive undertaking for a small but mighty team who are supported by public and private partnerships. By working together, the streets of the Downtown Arts District come to life with color, art, and music. Thanks to our sponsors, CTB is able to continue providing extraordinary arts experiences for the community to enjoy for FREE each year! At the same time, the event provides a platform for local artists to perform, showcase and sell their work. The event generates over 1.2 million dollars for the local economy.
