THANK YOU!

Welcome to the 4th Annual Shelley Spud Day Chalk Walk 

Thank you for registering on our website: shelleysupportersofthearts.org 

All artists and teams must register online by September 6, 2023. 

Our theme this year- “A little bit of country” 

Check in information- THURSDAY September 7th, at 7:00 pm 

● All artists (teams need to send a representative) must attend the Thursday evening demonstration and receive your supplies. 

● Thursday evening artists may measure out and draw grid lines, but no “chalking” of the actual artwork may be done until midnight. Artists can work anytime day or night September 8-9th, touchups can be done on the 10th and the 11th, but all artwork must be finished and area around artwork cleaned up by Monday Sept 11, 4:00 pm when judging takes place. 

● At check-in on September 7, 2023, all artists will receive their official 2023 Chalk Walk bandana which must be worn while chalking, a 48-piece chalk set, official 10x13 space number, and welcome kit. All chalk art must be a minimum of 6’x6’ and no larger than 10’x13’. 

● The location will be announced soon. You are welcome to bring a tent or awning for shade (bring something to anchor it down) but please remember sunscreen and plenty of water. 

● Only CHALK can be used for drawings. No oil based pastels, paint, crayon, ink or other non-washable or permanent products. Each team will be given a 48 piece box of pastel chalk to use. You may mix your chalk with water to be used as “paint”. Extra chalk will be for sale for $1 per stick.
