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...

Recognizing: World Teachers Day Oct 6.

Honoring our Teachers today on World Teachers' Day for the great and tireless work they do. CHALK4PEACE would not know what to do without teachers! Without them,  we're sure CHALK4PEACE would have never grown to the size and presence it has today. Thank you for all the knowledge you share, the papers you read, the artwork you organize, the hands you hold, the patience you have, the ear that listens... and the acrobatic juggling of being on the front lines of Education! Thank you ALL!!! Here are a few of our (your) dear friends...
