Stay-at-Home Chalk Art

In partnership with Reston Community Center, Reston Association, Reston Town Center Association,
Greater Reston Chamber of Commerce, and Reston Historic Trust & Museum 

While we all should be sheltering in place and safely social distancing, our imaginations and creativity have no such constraints. These wonderfully innate capacities are able to roam free in any direction that our minds might take them. Public Art Reston is providing a fun way, during the month of May, to safely tap into these free-roaming talents with a Stay-at-Home Chalk Art virtual event.

Kicking off officially on Monday, May 4, Stay-at-Home Chalk Art will take place each week in May with the final week scheduled for May 25-31. Each week will have a different theme posted on Monday on Public Art Reston’s website, Facebook page and other social media. The four themes include:
• May 4 – Fantasy – Even though we are staying home let your imagination soar & create your own fantastical creature, people, place
• May 11 – Spring into Nature
• May 18 –Favorite activities with your family
• May 25 – On Memorial Day, we celebrate military heroes, draw your favorite hero(s).

Artists of all ages and skill levels – including children, families, businesses, and organizations — are welcome to participate. Simply find a safe place to chalk (driveways, sidewalks, traffic-free pavement) to join in this virtual shared art-making event.
