August 22nd! 🖍️

Mark your calendars for this fun August tradition!

August 22 - Chalk on the Walk. Join us in downtown Cascade for a colorful day of creativity at Chalk on the Walk, happening from 9:00 am to 2:00 pm on Main Street! Watch the sidewalks come alive as artists of all ages transform pavement into vibrant works of art. All proceeds benefit the Cascade Cultural Arts Center.

Details:
Artist entry: $5
Sponsor a square: Sponsor an artist for $25 and have your name displayed next to their masterpiece.
All artists will be paired with a sponsor (don’t worry—we’ve got sponsors ready if you need one!)
Chalk supplies are provided, and every artist gets a sweet bonus: an ice cream coupon.

There’s no theme, so let your imagination run wild! Just keep it family-friendly—no logos or political designs, please.

Spaces are limited, so be sure to sign up early to claim your square! Sign up today! Contact Shauna Arnold at 208-634-6906 (calls only, no texts) or email [email protected]
