Please share with Blog Now on streetpainting.tv
readers about the Uptown Art Expo back-story and recent event.
The Uptown Art Expo is now in our 2nd
year at beautiful Cranes Roost Park in Altamonte Springs, Florida which is just
north of Orlando. Our festival was located previously in Downtown Orlando for 7
years. This year the art & music
festival will be held on Feb 16-17th. The free festival includes
over 130 art exhibitors from around the country and concerts with Marty Balin
of Jefferson Airplane and Firefall.
How did you get interested in bringing the
chalk art component to the Uptown Art Expo?
After seeing chalk artists at the
Festival of the Masters which is an art festival at Disney World and the chalk
art festival in Sarasota, Florida. Visually it was just amazing what these
chalk artist create and we had to add this excitement to our festival.
Is this the first year for chalk? If not, lets
look at some of the work.
This will be our third year of our chalk
street painting competition. Here are some of the photos from last year’s
competition.
What is the chalk art plan for this year?
The Expo will feature 25 chalk artists in
this year. We have been reaching out to let the Chalk Art Community know about
our festival. Learning more about the different websites that promote chalk art
and requesting that our festival be included in their listings. We have line-up
some amazing new artists for this year’s festival and will be excited to see
them in action.
Also, we have increased our awards for the chalk artists. This year the Expo
will present cash prizes and ribbons for:
(1) $500 – Best of Show
(2) $250 – Awards of Excellence
(2) $200 – Judges Choice
(2) $100 – Awards of Distinction
Is the community excited? How will you bring
the community to socially invest in the chalk art, activities, reaching out,
etc.?
Last year we arranged for Chalk Artists
Ron Hawkins and Carolyn Schultz to chalk live in front of the Fox 35 Studios.
The Station broadcasted them live during the morning show as they created a
masterpiece of the stations Good Day morning show logo.
Our festival attendees just love the art
work that is created and its heart warming to see all the children try their
talents with what I call their refrigerator art in a section nearby.
Anything that we are missing but would be great
to add to the post…
I am just pleased to work with and create
an event which provides a venue for such amazing talent.
And we are too! Watch for more posts from Blog Now on streetpainting.tv!

Festival Bella Via:
...Street painting at the top of the mountain the challenge of opening a new cultural space, can be said that it was a challenge to overcome. Street painting between the Sun and the clouds, framed by the Sierra Madre, the Cerro de las Mitras, the Cerro del Topo and our flagship Cerro de la Silla. It has been a unique experience, and perhaps even repeatable.
This experience, Festival Bella Via, reaffirms as a cultural gesture, and socially strengthens as a formative activity, and service vocation to the citizen.
During the two days of the realization, we were visited by around 20,000 spectators, who came to live the already traditional ephemeral art of the FBV. To the beating of drums, and our flag (Mexico) hoisted, the soil of the Esplanade from the viewpoint of the bishopric, was covered with art centenary art madonnari...
'At the top of the mountain' ...

Today we have the latest from chalk artist Steven Platt who was just at the Arts Alive Street Painting Festival in Mission Viejo, CA.
Steve was one of 87 artists who participated in the Arts Alive Festival in Mission Viejo, CA May 5-6th. The theme was animation and the 50’s, so Steve devised a scene from War of the Worlds, Batman & Robin from the era, a Newman sculpture for the hood ornament, and the best car ever made- a 1956 Chevy Bel Air. This of course being special to him as he was born in 1956 - his report not ours ;). This is framed by a 50’s- style TV.
All the above being our adaptation of Steve's paraphrase from his event experience. Here is the artwork, enjoy all!
