Moore Square Art District Alive with Art!

Visual Art Exchange, in conjunction with sparkCON, is pleased to announce groundSPARK, the Raleigh Street Painting Festival. The festival will be held September 19-21 in City Market, Moore Square Art District. All festival events are FREE and open to the public. For a full listing of the weekend's events, go to www.visualartexchange.org or sparkcon.com.

This is not a typical art festival.  Moore Square and City Market will be filled with over 400 artists actually painting the street, using Martin Street in Moore Square as their canvas. The artists will have only 27 hours to complete their work and will work alongside graffiti artists, fashion designers and musicians to transform Downtown Raleigh into a work of art. Featured artist Casey Porn will create a large street painting during the festival.

Fun for the Entire Family
The Festival's FREE activity area for families, KidsChalk, is a great place for kids to experiment with chalk and create art with The Scrap Exchange.  KidsChalk will take over Parham Street in City Market from 11 a.m. - 6 p.m. on Saturday. The Scrap Exchange will bring its traveling creative arts program: a truckload of colorful, fun recycled materials for hands-on creativity. Both children and adults can make their own art with hundreds of different kinds of materials, and whatever they make, they can take home.

Visual Art Exchange (VAE) has produced the Raleigh Street Painting Festival for ten years, as part of its mission to support emerging artists and to connect the community with the arts.
