News from the Sidewalk

CHALK4PEACE is the global chalk art project about peace. We celebrate our eleventh year as a worldwide event encouraging peace. CHALK4PEACE, Inc. is a 501(c)(3) non-profit arts organization.

We've had more than 1000 events in 50 countries and have covered more than 12 miles of pavement with messages and visions of peace in sidewalk chalk...

We believe in "Drawing the World Together..."

CHALK4PEACE participated in the Peace Day Student Observance at the United Nations in New York City in 2016 to honor the International Day of Peace. Hundreds of thousands of young artists of all ages have joined us since 2005.

Our goal: ONE MILLION artists Chalking 4 Peace at the same time...

Because we need Peace...Now more than ever...

CHALK4PEACE is making a film about Peace and Justice in FergUSon. You can help...

We raised enough money with our Indiegogo campaign to begin our documentary, CHALK4PEACE: Drawing FergUSon Together. CHALK4PEACE is headed there with PARADIGM PICTURES for the Drawing FergUSon Together: A Vision of Peace Social Justice Summit and Community Celebration Sept. 18-19 in FergUSon, Missouri.

Raising money to make sure this documentary gets made is ongoing; we ask you to help us create this historic film on Peace, Reconciliation and the use of art to encourage change. Thank you to all who helped us launch; and to all of you who continue to energize and support our efforts.

CHALK4PEACE invited to "Draw FergUSon Together: A Vision of Peace" at St. Louis Community College at Florissant Valley

CHALK4PEACE has been invited to Ferguson, Missouri by St. Louis Community College at Florissant Valley to participate in "Drawing FergUSon Together: A Vision of Peace" as part of a Social Justice Summit/Weekend of Healing Sept. 18-19. We are working closely with the College and Community leaders to bring the population of Ferguson together with a symposium of discussion, message and visions of peace and reconciliation. St. Louis Community College has been involved in CHALK4PEACE as a peace, art and photographic project since 2007. It's been guided by Janice Nesser, Professor of Photography and Chair of the Arts and Humanities Dept.

It is a great honor for CHALK4PEACE to be selected to be part of the healing process for the Community of Ferguson. C4P will be documenting the weekend with the College and Paradigm Pictures. Documenting this event as a film is the focus of our impending Indiegogo campaign.
