Chalk Up a Good Time!
Creativity and community pride were on full display when Skye Canyon hosted a day filled with art, food and family fun at its fifth annual juried chalk art competition, Chalk & Cheers. The weather was perfect for the annual fall festival, raffle, and art fair at Skye Canyon Park with hundreds of families enjoying the day outdoors.
Last year, more than 30 artists of all skill levels participated in the chalk art contest. Each artist creatively interpreted this year’s theme of “The Skye’s the Limit.” Soaring eagles, colorful aircraft, and hot air balloons along with sky high ice cream cones, tall trees and mountains, galloping horses, outer space and pictures of children at play were among the vibrant chalk art entries. The competition was fierce, and the quality of art was beyond impressive in all categories. Families in attendance were awe-struck at the variety and creativity. Ultimately, Joseph Christenson’s powerful illustration of bald eagles soaring amidst the setting sun earned him first place in the professional category for the third consecutive year.
