THIS SATURDAY: Not too late to enter the $1,000 Belmont Shore Sidewalk Chalk Art Contest
The contest is this Saturday, Nov. 6, 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., 17th annual. 5200 E. Second Street. Justin Rudd and his nonprofit Community Action Team host about 60 adult artists who use the sidewalks of trendy Second Street to work on their large paper canvases. Awards are at 4:10 p.m. in front of Chase Bank.
Pizza lunch sponsored by Rance's Pizza!
Artists draw on large sheets of paper and will sell their work.
If you see some art that you love on Saturday, make an offer to the artist directly. Artists will draw on Lenox 100 Paper 38" x 50", 250g - white, that is on top of the concrete sidewalks.
Fifty-two more artists need a sponsorship. Sponsor an artist for $25.
To defray event costs (free to adult artists), CAT is encouraging businesses, clubs, organizations and individuals to "sponsor" a few artists' spaces for Rudd’s Belmont Shore Sidewalk Chalk Art Contest. For each $25, CAT will place the name of the sponsoring business, group or individual on a small sign on the ground at an artist's work area. You can make a tax-deductible credit card payment via Paypal.com/justinrudd or mail a check payable to "CAT" c/o Justin Rudd, 3040 E. First Street, Belmont Shore, 90803. There are about 60 chalk artists expected. Each receives chalk, deluxe drawing paper, lunch and snacks.
