FUN FACTS

• Festival artists use more than 25,000 sticks of chalk during the two-day festival.
• Artists at the festival learn to barter with others in order to get the chalk colors they need…and to make new friends!
• Blue is the most popular color used (8,000 sticks used every year!), as it serves as the under-drawing base tint, followed closely by black and white.
• Some muralists create their chalk paintings in about eight hours, while for some of the true masterpieces of the festival, artists utilize all 20-plus hours of daylight that the festival weekend allows.
• The largest mural ever created at the festival featured a giant red squid – whose tentacles extended more than 20 feet. Team members wore red squid-eye t-shirts to motivate them to complete their “giant task!”
