Chalk Art - Reno 2019

I’ve only seen the work of these amazing chalk artists through local media outlets and other people’s pictures. This year, I was able to get to the 4th annual Reno Chalk Art & Music Festival held at the Atlantis Resort in Reno. What a treat!

To say these artists are awesome is an understatement of gargantuan proportions. These artists varied in age from teenagers to retirees and all presented just amazing talent. Some of the art was done in 3D, popping out of the asphalt and providing an incredible depth. Brightly colored, highly detailed, and art designed to tell a story filled the black top canvas.

As you can probably tell, I can’t put into words the quality of work these artists created in just a quick weekend so here are a few shots of their art. There were some difficult lighting issues as the sun was high and some of the art was only partially shaded. Still worth the look.
