To Read Details of CMA Announcement to Members
I was so glad to be back in person after two years!! In 2020, for the 31st annual Cleveland Museum of Art's Chalk Festival, the event went virtual due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
- Blog Date: September 15, 2020 - #CMAChalkFestival Social Distancing Style: Cleveland Museum of Art's Virtual Chalk Festival 2020
Last year, "I was very disappointed that a spur-of-the-moment trip south to take care of some family business prevented me from attending ... " but "I was rewarded greatly by the Cleveland Twitterverse," who posted their photos online so that I was able to share them in my blog post:
- Blog Date: September 18, 2021 - Enjoying Remotely in 2021: The 32nd Cleveland Museum of Art's Chalk Festival
I was so pleased that the 33rd Annual Chalk Festival would take place in the Fine Arts Garden on Saturday/Sunday, September 10 and 11, 2022, rain or shine! These were dates I could attend!!
My wife just showed me @ClevelandArt email about the 2022 #CMAChalkFestival.https://t.co/DvzgqcOy6T

We were recently talking about the #Cleveland #Museum of #Art's Chalk Festival & wondered about dates.
It is always a good time! https://t.co/K57uwJn8lmhttps://t.co/ZXNr5nHkPn pic.twitter.com/ZhfPXO9nl3
The following is my eleventh Cleveland Chalk Festival blog post. I really enjoy seeing the creativity each year (which is why I even wrote blog posts for the two years I enjoyed remotely). I invite you to view all my my past "Chalk Festival" blog posts from 2012 - 2021 after you look at the photos in this blog post. Please retweet any tweets that have photos of chalk artwork you enjoy to encourage more people to attend and participate in future years!

Unless I am participating by doing my own chalk drawing on the first day of the festival, I normally only come on Sunday (day two) to get photos of the finished chalk drawings. This year, I saw that the weather forecast for rain Sunday morning dictated that I come on Saturday night to capture photos of the first day's drawings.
Note that before I visited the Chalk Festival in the early evening Saturday, I had already visited four other fun places in Cleveland that day. If you open the first tweet that follows, you can see photos of my day at:
- Canal Basin Trailhead Weekend Celebration
- Cleveland Metroparks Wendy Park
- FRONT International exhibition at the Spaces gallery
- Mid-Autumn Festival at the AsiaTown Pop-Up Park
I enjoy the @ClevelandArt’s #CMAChalkFestival every year!!

@PokoTraveler learned about the Cleveland Chalk Festival 2022 because of my tweets. See below the great video and photos @PokoTraveler shared when he visited on the Monday after the event weekend!!!
Such an awesome idea! I wish I had known about it sooner; it's too bad rain is forecasted for tomorrow, otherwise I would've tried to swing by early Monday morning to check all the art out.

Day #2: Sunday, September 11, 2022 - 33rd Annual Chalk Festival
On Sunday morning it rained, so I was glad I took photos on Saturday. It was interesting to see how the first day's chalk drawings were still there, but the colors were muted by the rain. What was also even more interesting was seeing how many new, joyful, chalk drawings had been created since the morning rain. So many people come every year to this annual Cleveland Chalk Festival! I enjoyed seeing the contrast between the muted artwork and the new, bright artwork that made up the colorful collage on the stone pathways in front of the Cleveland Museum of Art.
I really appreciate how the following people shared on Twitter the chalk drawings that they enjoyed. I was able to attend in person this year, but for those that can't get to the museum, I think it is great to share with the world on Twitter.
Day 2 of CMA’s annual Chalk Festival 2022 has begun!

New Impressionism to Modernism: The Keithley Collection Banner
On Friday, September 9, 2022, the day before the Chalk Festival, I was invited to the Media & Influencer Preview for the Impressionism to Modernism: The Keithley Collection exhibition that opened to the public on Sunday, September 11, 2022. As I was leaving the 2022 Chalk Festival, I saw that the banner by the back entrance had been updated to announce that the exhibition is now open.
I had brought my dad to the preview, and we were amazed by the collection -- it includes a lot of the type of art I enjoy. I plan to return to see The Keithley Collection exhibition again -- hopefully more than once.
If you are interested in seeing some of the exhibition, please open the second tweet that follows (or click here to open preview tweets in a new window). I will tell you that my photos don't do the artwork justice -- you really need to go in person to see for yourself.

Cleveland Museum of Art's 2022 Chalk Festival
Sep 12, 2022 The 2022 Cleveland Museum of Art's Chalk Festival took place on September 10-11, 2022. I visited the following morning, September 12, 2022, to see all of the creative works of art made from chalk. Unfortunately, it rained Saturday night, which washed away half of the weekend's vibrant colors, but we still enjoyed the peaceful walk.
Stuart Smith on Twitter has vibrant pictures from both Day 1 and Day 2, before the rain:

Unfortunately, the rain on Saturday washed away much of the color from the sports-related artwork. #CMAChalkFestival pic.twitter.com/sHgkEJIEHJ

Highlighting more work from the #CMAChalkFestival. The first one of the bats is very detailed. Second one gave me Super Mario vibes? And then an homage to the queen. pic.twitter.com/jGqe7DT36x

The first one here gets bonus points for creativity. They used a busted up sidewalk panel to make it look like rocks by the water, with a sunset highlighting them. #CMAChalkFestival pic.twitter.com/FixfHyy19I

Thank you! I love seeing this type of creativity. That's why I'm excited for Halloween coming up too; to find and feature some creative displays. https://t.co/qvxaFlGhDq

I follow 5,000+ interesting people and organizations, so Twitter now prevents me from following more. When I first saw the great photos that @PokoTraveler was sharing, and that he had followed me on Twitter, I was not able to follow back. Luckily, I recently gained some more followers, so the "Twitter police" let me follow @PokoTraveler on September 21, 2022. It is my understanding that I still need more people/organizations to follow me so that I can continue to follow more interesting Twitter accounts.
You are most welcome, @PokoTraveler. Yes, I agree — I really love the creativity shared by the participants of the @ClevelandArt Chalk Festival https://t.co/K57uwJnGaU

Sorry to the recent people who followed me on @Twitter — @TwitterSupport will not let me follow you backhttps://t.co/cw27JGIkpH

I also met new people & learned of interesting new organizations that @TwitterSupport will not let me follow
I follow interesting people & want more https://t.co/cawoLMuqtq pic.twitter.com/i8KYIfF9VP
