Chalk Art in the Village Returns with End of Summer-Themed Creations

The Carlsbad Village Association (CVA) is at it again and is bringing vibrant pop-up art to downtown Carlsbad in an old, familiar, but fully reimagined way! Chalk Art in the Village is bringing back chalk art for all to enjoy as they celebrate the end of summer through an artist’s eyes in this free, family-friendly temporary art project.

On Saturday, August 30th from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. at the Village Faire Shopping Center, five renowned local and regional chalk artists Katie Bush, Cecelia Linayao, Meg Beverly Canilang, Phyllis Swanson, and Ron Juncal, will each transform a 4-by-4-foot prepared board into a vivid chalk mural inspired by this year’s theme, “Final Days of Summer.” Guests will have the rare opportunity to watch these artists bring their visions to life in real time.

Following the event, all five completed murals will remain on display in the Village Faire Shopping Center courtyard through September 14, giving locals and visitors alike the chance to enjoy the artwork long after the final chalk strokes are made. Visitors can stop by, soak in the creativity, and snap a one-of-a-kind selfie with these colorful works of art while they shop, dine, and play.

Pop Up Art: A New Experience is supported by the City of Carlsbad Cultural Arts and is managed by the Carlsbad Village Association.
