Hello world, I am the new 2011 summer intern for The Center for Hearing and Speech (CHS) development team. One of my first projects will be assisting with the 6th annual Via Colori Street Painting Festival. I am so excited to lend a hand and be a part of this amazing experience. Since I have started my journey with CHS, I have learned about this cool art form that up until now I didn’t even know existed. Can you imagine gigantic art murals painted directly on the streets of Houston using only chalk? How cool is that!
As we get started planning for Via Colori 2011 we are looking for artist, after all what is a street painting festival without some of the most important people-our artist. On November 19-20 these artist will transform the pavement of downtown Houston into an ocean of vibrant colors and images. This festival will give the artist a chance to showcase their art work while at the same time raising funds for a worthy cause benefiting the hearing impaired children of CHS.
Via Colori needs 200 professional and practicing artists from all different genres to submit their applications and be a part of this astonishing event. All artists must be 18 years or older; once your application is submitted the festival’s jury will review all applications accompanied by art submissions to determine the 2011 artist line-up. To sign up as an artist, download the application at http://tiny.cc/k2aib.
With the help of our artist and the Houston area I know that this year’s Via Colori Street Painting Festival will be the biggest one yet. I am looking forward to the lasting memories that will be created. ;-)
