This exciting "artist-in-action" component of the festival can be seen on Tasso at University. Talented artists from Palo Alto and neighboring communities throughout the Bay Area will come together to create a multi-faceted collage of color, style and subject matter for festival attendees to witness and to enjoy as they stroll through the festival.
Artists will begin laying the groundwork an hour or so previous to the festival opening at 10 a.m. on Saturday and work throughout the weekend creating these impressive-but temporary masterpieces in chalk just for this festival.
The Italian Street Painting Expo and Kid's Chalk-a-lot area, part of the Palo Alto Festival of the Arts, are presented by KDFC benefiting the Palo Alto Partners in Education. Thanks to the generosity of our sponsors proceeds will provide vital teacher grants for innovative instructional projects throughout the Palo Alto Unified School District.
