2019 is a special year! Congratulations, Cleveland Museum of Art, on celebrating the 30th year of the Chalk Festival over the weekend of September 14-15, 2019! We were able to continue our annual tradition of creating a blog post with photos from the Cleveland Museum of Art's Chalk Festival (@ClevelandArt - #CMAChalkFestival).
Stuart also attended and wrote a blog post about the other big art event happening at the Museum that weekend -- the Print Club of Cleveland’s 35th Fine Print Fair Opening Night Preview Party.
Here are 184 photos from the September 15, 2019 - 30th Annual Chalk Festival Cleveland Museum of Art, which includes our favorite pieces and other sights around the museum.
