Admission is free! This year's event will feature approximately 300 professional and amateur street painting artists from New England creating 70 concrete masterpieces on Union Street for a chance to win an award, an Artisan Marketplace highlighting 60 booths filled with handcrafted items by local and regional artists on Westminster Street, live entertainment by "Bandstand Review," "Milt Javery," and the "Ignitors" performing amazing music, and a food court,,,There's a slideshow at the site. And volunteers are needed. (Since rain is fatal to the chalk paintings, rain date is Oct. 3 if this week's a washout.) My earlier street-painting posts are among this site's most popular. Inspiration: Some winners from previous years. There's an international Street Painting Society
German "strassenmaler" (streetpainter) Edgar Müller showcases his Street Art 3D as well as Traditional Street Painting.
