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 CHALKSTARS: St. George's Cathedral, Cape Town, S.A.
The Community Arts Therapy Programme, CATh, founded by Angela Rackstraw, was one of the first organizations to step forward to join CHALK4PEACE when it painted the steps of St. George's Cathedral in Cape Town, South Africa in 2006. Archbishop Emeritas Desmond Tutu told Angela about CHALK4PEACE; and the Cathedral offered its space to CATh to spread their messages and visions of love and peace. The steps in these photos are the steps where Nelson Mandela and Desmond Tutu stood when they first publicly denounced Apartheid. From the early years.... thanks to Angela Rackstraw and Gabbie van Heerden

CHALK4PEACE CHALKSTARS: St. Thomas, Virgin Islands
This is our very favorite mermaid of all time with CHALK4PEACE.
Silver Raven, a mighty artist, firespinner, eco warrior, and events coordinator, has been encouraging CHALK4PEACE on the island of St. Thomas for years; she has passed the stick of chalk (or truly in her case, the torch) to the VI Montessori School and Peter Gruber International Academy. She has done a beautiful job of organizing and documenting the events so that we could share these expressions of joy and peace with you...
