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.
