The Georgia Chalk Artists Guild was well represented at the 2015 Sarasota International Chalk Festival! Participating members included Katie, Jessi, Zach and Dianne. Katie arrived a few days early to help with the Guinness World Record painting. The festival lasts 3 days, giving the artists around 20 hours to complete their large pieces.

Here’s a shot of Jessi and Zach getting Jessi’s piece set up on Miami Avenue

Katie didn’t get much done on day 1…

The theme was “eat, drink, and be merry”

Nancy Garza’s great kitty/spaghetti art (Katie, a lover of cats, was a huge fan)

Katie’s final piece, day 3

Jessi’s almost done with her piece!

Zach (finally!) flew solo and did his own piece at the festival. It was a technical masterpiece. Congrats, Zach!
