Kingfield Neighborhood Association

Chalk-n-Walk Weekends

SHARE YOUR PAIN | SHARE YOUR JOY

COVER OUR SIDEWALKS IN ART!

Now is the perfect weather to show off your sidewalk chalk drawing skills. Please join our Kingfield neighbors in creating Chalkscapes each weekend in April. Then dust off your hands and knees and take a walk around to view your neighbor’s art.

Get out and be in community: draw, walk, enjoy your neighbors and the sunshine. Borrow chalk on weekends from either Royal Grounds or Butter Bakery. Use it out front of these shops, or draw your way from one site to the next.
