Artists get creative with chalk at Palm Springs High School

Artists of all ages came out for the Palm Springs Chalk Art Festival at Palm Springs High School Saturday.

Professional and student artists created their best masterpieces using only chalk and the sidewalk as their canvases. All proceeds from the event go to the Palm Springs SunUp Rotary Foundation and arts programs for schools in the Palm Springs Unified School District.

“It keeps getting bigger and bigger every year and you know, art is a really big part of education and it’s been underfunded for many years. So we like to give back to that so we can keep arts in the schools,” said SunUp Rotary Chairperson Kristin Bloomer.

If you want to check out the art, you can go by the Palm Springs High School parking lot, under the solar panels.
