The Ventura Art & Chalk Festival returns Sept. 14-15 with more than 50 chalk artists and craftsmen coming to Ventura Harbor Village.
Scheduled for 10 a.m.-5 p.m., the Ventura Art & Chalk Festival is a family-friendly event, where visitors can watch as expert chalk artists create large-scale murals along a seaside promenade.
Among the featured artists is Greg Wray, known for his work on the “Sonic the Hedgehog” video game series. Wray will be crafting a Sonic-themed beach scene.
The Ventura Art & Chalk Festival is a fundraiser for local charities. This year, proceeds will go toward supporting free art projects, scholarships, and various charitable organizations within Ventura County.
Over the past decade, Ventura County Art Events, Inc. has donated some $50,000 to VC FOOD Share through this festival.
This year’s festival is dedicated to Randy Hinton, who recently passed away. Hinton was a co-founder of the Ventura Art & Chalk Festival and a supporter of Ventura County’s charities.
His legacy lives on through the continued efforts of the Ventura Rotary Club, whose members have stepped up to serve on the newly restructured Ventura County Art Events, Inc. Board, ensuring that the festival remains a cherished community event.
The festival thanks its sponsors: Mathis Wealth Management-premier sponsor, Crowne Plaza Ventura, Rotary Club of Ventura, Tastes & Tales Hospitality Group, Fastsigns, and Ventura County Art Events inc.
