Burns Square held its first major event this November, the "Burns Square Chalk Festival" benefiting the Sarasota Film Society.
Over 20 artists worked their fingers raw for two days on the rough street surface of Pineapple Avenue creating beautiful drawings for the pleasure of passerby's, lucky enough to be a part of the expressive process. As each hour passed, every painting evolved upon the pavement making every part of the weekend a new experience.Today small traces of the works of art can still be seen as they slowly disappear with each car that passes over them. We already have many more artists signed up for the next years event to be held November 15th and 16th, 2008. We are planning to have over 50 artists next year. Volunteers, Sponsors and Artists are very much appreciated and encouraged to participate in this magnificent community event. www.burnssquarechalkfestival.com

How can I sign up to be one of the artists? I was so disappointed that I did not know to be in the last one. I came by with friends and we just loved the idea.
