Artists will be taking over the Downtown Waco Cultural District along Austin Avenue the morning of April 25th before the streets are flooded with 40,000 visitors from across the country for this year's Silo District Marathon. The chalk murals will then be on view for the entire weekend! On that same Saturday, from 4 to 8 PM events will culminate in our first EVER Chalk Waco Art Festival where everyone is invited to see and celebrate the art!
Let's rally Waco's artists and color the streets to show what Waco culture is all about!

- Artists will have from 3 - 7 AM and/or 10 AM - 2 PM to complete their artwork on the day of the event.
- Artists will have an assigned portrait oriented space of approximately 10'W x 15'L on Austin Avenue between 6th & 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.
- Once artists are finished with their artwork, we ask that they stay to help with the marathon water station and cheer on the runners as they pass by. And all the artists are invited to return for the VIP artists and sponsors reception and award ceremony on Saturday evening from 4-6 PM.
