Chalk Festival in Venice 2019

The Chalk Festival is held every November at the Venice Airport Fairgrounds on the island of Venice, Florida. This four-day event gives everyone an opportunity to participate in this creative process. You can see the largest gathering of famous pavement artists and observe how they transform the road surface into a canvas-like masterpiece filled with chalk.

This art form appeared in Italy during the 16th century. Italian artists “Madonnari,” went into remission after the World War II. Only in the 1970’s that art was revived at the International Madonnari Festival in Grazie di Curtatone in Northern Italy.
