What: Festival of the Arts
100 N. Shoreline
I am a big fan of two very fun things, festivals and chalk. So, it should come as no surprise that I chose to write about the latest event taking place in Texas this coming weekend. Held at the Art Center of Corpus Christi, the festival begins with a ceremony and reception to officially open the exhibition. The festival's main attraction is the Italian Street Painting done by returning artists Julie Kirk and Melanie Stimmell. There are also many other art exhibitions, demonstrations, and performances (on Saturday and Sunday) free to the public. Not to mention the several arts activities for kids, including printmaking, mosaic making, and collage making labs. This is a great opportunity to see how great collaboration between different arts programs can make for a really fun event. So for those of you near enough, get out to Corpus Christi for some art time near the beach!
Below are some examples of previous Italian Street Painting at the 2007 Festival of the Arts in Corpus. As always, get out there and enjoy the art!
