Stroll the plaza and watch our local artists create pastel works of art on the surrounding sidewalk. Farmers Market will also be open 9am-2pm.
Families, farmers, art aficionados and sponsors gather on the Arcata Plaza for the largest “art show” of the year. The gallery sidewalk is surrounded with music and the fresh produce of the local farmers market.
Each artist creates an original piece of art representing a business sponsor. Artists, businesses and children are what this day is all about. Some are experienced artists; others are just beginning to express themselves through drawings, paintings, or sculpture. Their sponsors are local businesses, corporations, schools, service clubs and “patrons of the arts.”
Northcoast Children’s Services’ preschool programs provide support to more than 1000 low income families with young children – from pregnancy up to age five – in Humboldt and Del Norte Counties each year. Please join us to chalk it up for kids!
Watch artists in action as they bring the sidewalks of the Arcata Plaza to life in support of North Coast Children’s Services. Local businesses and sponsors “buy” sidewalk squares around the center of the plaza where skilled artists craft pastel masterpieces. Enjoy live music and shop at the Arcata Farmers Market as you peruse the county’s largest plein air art show.
