Painting on the streets
Submitted by marcysmith on 09/17/2008 - 10:05
Included in this weekend's SPARKcon activities is groundSPARK, a Street Painting Festival, this weekend (September 19-21) at City Market in the Moore Square Art District. Remember all those times as a kid you had a great urge to draw on the walls and (probably) squelched it? Well, more than 400 artists will be doing the paint work, in 27 hours, to turn the Raleigh streets into a work of art. And on Parham Street in City Market, 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Saturday, kids can create their own street art with chalk. And The Scrap Exchange will be there with loads of goodies to make art to take home.
