Remember when you were a kid playing with sidewalk chalk? Each year Sacramento takes it a step further with their Chalk It Up contest held Labor Day weekend. Artists are invited from all over to paint with chalk at Fremont Park. Some squares are sponsored by a business or organization.
Last year, because of the pandemic the 2020 festival was shown all over Sacramento, typically in front of the artists’ homes. In 2021 the show returned to Fremont Park and other venues around Sacramento — a big change for us visitors.
We went to the park early, before the start time, in the morning before the crowds came. Fortunately, some of the artists started early; unfortunately some had their work covered by plastic sheeting.
But there were enough to make the trip worthwhile. Here are some I liked and then I’ll show you my favorites.
Now my favorites.
I’m always amazed with what these artists create with sidewalk chalk and liquid chalk. I can’t wait for next year.

These are amazing, but a bit sad to think how transient they are. I’m glad you captured them in photos, and I’m sure others will have done the same. You could think about sharing this with Cee’s Photographing Public Art Challenge (https://ceenphotography.com/2021/09/24/ppac-15/) – they would fit the theme perfectly!
