Register to be an artist for the 2021 Wacotown Chalk + Walk and get ready to make your mark and leave a lasting impression on our city. This is our opportunity to show off the phenomenal, talented and vibrant creatives who are defining the culture of our city!
Sponsored artists will receive a supplies budget to be redeemed at MC Art Supplies for chalk mural supplies, AND if you get your supply order in by the deadline, you get way more control over the colors and materials you get. We have set up a sweet online portal for ordering this year, so it’s totally convenient!
Of course we will still have a competition with awesome prizes this year too! LIVE VOTING will be held throughout the day Saturday. PLUS every artist will walk away with something whether they place or not because…  every participating artist will be getting PAID $75 for their time.
Are you in? Let’s get to it!

GUIDELINES
 
- Artists will have from 5 AM - 10 AM to complete their artwork on the day of the event.
- Artists will have an assigned space of approximately 11'W x 14'L on Austin Avenue between 5th & 8th Street.
- Artists who are sponsored by a local business must collaborate with their sponsor and invite their input on the theme or content of the artwork. While the art should NOT be a direct representation of their logo or brand elements (ie. it cannot look like a billboard), it can incorporate elements of their business or mission (ie. if they are a salon, it could incorporate hair.)
- Restricted content: This is a family event, so obviously, politics, vulgar language or sexual themes are off limits.
