Unleash your creativity! Stay after the parade to Chalk to Block. Join local artists Natalie Ratha and Antoinette Lee for a vibrant celebration of art, imagination, and community! Natalie and Antoinette will create a mural on 8th Avenue North, just north of West St. Germain. Community members are invited to color in the mural or create their own chalk art!
