Meet the Artists… or Be an Artist!

More than 600 artists convert downtown Lake Worth Beach into an open-air gallery featuring both original art and replicated masterpieces. Originating from 16th century Italy, the tradition of street painting involves itinerant artists utilizing chalk to turn pavements into impromptu canvases.

This practice has endured over the centuries, maintaining its allure. Similar to ancient times, onlookers assemble to witness the creation of magnificent artworks.

These “paintings” endure only until the subsequent rainfall, yet the vibrant atmosphere and the exhibition’s accessibility captivate audiences, leaving behind enduring memories that spark inspiration.
