Come and watch five local artists Chalk it Up! in James Bay on Friday, May 1 from 5:00 – 6:00 pm. With washable sidewalk chalk they will create designs based on some of Jane Jacobs’ ideas to provide inspiration for the Jane’s Walk Sidewalk Chalk Art Contest.
The following day, Jane Bay residents, visitors and artists of all ages and stages are invited to have their own chance to Chalk it Up for Jane Jacobs, her ideas, James Bay or anything else they want to say. Volunteers, stencils, and chalk will be on hand to assist adults, emerging artists and youngsters alike in five locations on Saturday, May 2 from 11:30 – 4:00 pm. Outside these hours, participants are welcome to bring their own chalk (you might want to bring a towel to cushion your knees, too!)
On Sunday, May 3. at 3:00 pm, the contest ends and three judges chosen by the James Bay Neighbourhood Association will meet and choose the winners. Prizes donated by local businesses and arts organizations to be awarded. Winners to be announced at the event finale at For Good Measure, 579 Niagara Street on Sunday, May 3 at 6:00 pm and on the event website the following day at: janeswalkjamesbayvictoria.ca. The draw for the volunteer who won the Capital Bike Giveaway will also take place at the same time.
