West Bend, WI – Join the Museum of Wisconsin Art (MOWA) at its annual Art & Chalk Fest—a live arts weekend. This free, outdoor, live arts festival is set amidst the museum’s four-acre campus and features 40+ artists from the Wisconsin arts community.
Experience live art demonstrations from artists who specialize in Ebru (the Turkish art of marbling), tintype photography, pottery, poetry, plein-air painting, weaving, and of course, chalk art.
Watch your festival t-shirt memento screen printed before your eyes from a press on wheels. Or walk away with a henna tattoo. Perhaps encounter a poetry reading. Kids will flock to the face painting and balloon animals.
Art activities for all ages are offered throughout the weekend along with live entertainment and music, food vendors, a beer garden, and free admission for the weekend to the Museum of Wisconsin Art.
Stay the day, and join us Saturday night for a special headlining performance by Appleton-based singer-songwriter Cory Chisel featuring an immersive large-scale video projection on the museum.
