24th WNY High School Chalk Walk Competition     

Teams of talented student artists create spectacular murals on Center Street on opening day of the Lewiston Outdoor Art Festival, which annually draws 30,000 visitors.

Our Chalk Walk is based on a tradition of street painting that dates back to the 18th century. For years it could be seen on the sidewalks of major cities around the world. Half the fun for the artist is sharing his or her creative energy with thousands of delighted passersby.

The theme for this year’s competition is “200 Years of Diversity“ to commemorate the bicentennial of Niagara County. Students will be challenged to create murals depicting the cultural diversity of the County during the past two hundred years. Students and teachers are encouraged to visit the Niagara County Bi-centennial website for design inspiration.

“Arts are Key” Cash prizes and trophies are awarded in 5 categories. Artful gift bags will be presented to all participating students.
