Chalk 2008

Chalk Urban Art Festival, the largest Urban Art Festival in the Southern Hemisphere was held 4 - 7 September 2008 in Tumbalong Park and The Chinese Gardens in Darling Harbour, Sydney.

This year Mother Nature really did test us. After a fantastic start on Thursday, the rain came down Friday and then really let loose on Saturday but Sunday the sun was positively grinning and so were the thousands that came out to enjoy the Chalk Urban Art Festival program:

Chalk Art...

Wearable Art...

Urban Music...

Graffiti...

Spoken word...

Performance Art...

Food stalls...

Fashion market...

Art workshops...

Art sales...
