Artist Pre-registration Information

When filling out the Artist Sign-up Form, please use the following definitions in determining which category of artist you are:

Professional: A person who sells their art or is employed and/or teaches in any area using skills in design, graphic development, etc., that can be related to "sidewalk chalking."

Amateur: A person who is not a professional, does not sell paintings or related type art, but may have had formal art training and/or participated in an earlier street painting event (excludes all school age children).

Beginner: A person who is not an amateur, has never participated in a street painting event, or may be just starting to take formal art lessons. All school age artists are categorized as “Beginner” whether they have previously participated in a prior street painting festival or not.

If artists of varying skill levels (such as a beginner and a professional) form a team to chalk a square, please designate your team at the level of the most accomplished artist.

Also, when completing the registration form, please use the following definitions in further describing you or your team:

Elementary School: A child or team of children of elementary school age (Grades 1-4). Students do not have to be a member of an art class, but if not participating with a school teacher, then a parent must be present at all times during the event.

Middle School: A child or team of children of middle school age (Grades 5-8). Students do not have to be a member of an art class, but if not participating with a school teacher, then a parent must be present at all times during the event.

High School: A student or a team of students of high school age (Grades 9-12).

Adult/Child Team: An adult and child (or children) competing as a team. The adult should not contribute more than 60% of the creation and drawing of the square and must not be classified as a professional. The child (or children) must be under the age of 18.

Adult Team: A team of 2 or more artists working together. If the team is composed of artists of varying skill levels (such as a beginner and a professional), please designate your team at the level of the most accomplished artist.

On the day of the festival, if you would like to chalk next to another artist or artist group, please make that request on the last line of the registration form, and name the artist or team. Festival organizers will do their best to honor such requests for artists who register at an early date.
