Every year I look forward to attending Artpace’s Chalk It Up. Each year they are successful in showcasing great artists, providing a venue for budding child artists, bringing life to Houston Street, and overall creating a great space to visit.

Yesterday Mother Nature threw them a curve ball with some of the strongest rains San Antonio has seen in months. Below are a few shots I took.

Here’s Artpace’s description of the event:

Chalk It Up is a free, family-friendly creative event. San Antonio’s premier artists transform city sidewalks into colorful works of art. We need your help to complete a super-sized street mural. And don’t miss the Kidzone, a space where imaginations soar!

This annual community event is an opportunity for locals and tourists alike to appreciate and participate in our city’s creative resources.
