Chalk &amp; Cheese is an outdoor chalk art, food, and music festival in Platteville’s City Park featuring nationally recognized artists; emerging, local creators and you!  Amateur adults and children can win cash prizes!

Open to artists of all ages and abilities. Artists will create colorful artwork on the sidewalks in and around City Park. Visitors will be able to watch the art as it unfolds and listen to live music.

The event will feature commissioned, professional chalk artists creating larger works. 

Notice for Amateur Artists (Anyone welcome!)  Registration and drawing starts at 10:30 am. Voting starts at 3 pm. You have over 4 hours to create a masterpiece.
