About
Sidewalk Chalk Challenge is an invitation for the local schools in the Quesnel District to take part in this multi-aged group activity. This is an outdoor, cooperative, and inexpensive back-to-school art activity that will encourage school/class spirit. The focus is on participation rather than on competition. In 2021 we brought in a professional Chalk Artist to teach at 2 schools and create a 3d mural which is now displayed at a a local business. We are once again going ot bring in Scott Gillies to teach and show the youth about 3d chalk art.
