Commission reports successful Chalk Walk with strong participation
Summary
Staff liaison Tanisha Jones said Chalk Walk drew dozens of competition squares, eight professional chalk artists, many volunteers and community partners; organizers plan to keep the event's marketing and community elements in next year's budget.
Tanisha Jones, the commission's liaison, said the Chalk Walk was "a very successful event," with most vendors participating and ample volunteer support.
Jones reported "I believe we had 2 absences out of 55" registered vendors and that there were eight contracted professional chalk artists plus additional competition squares in the forties. She noted strong community involvement from Chamblee High School's art club, face-painting and family activities and said the commission's marketing spend this year largely supported Chalk Walk, with Discover DeKalb matching the city's investment.
