An Artist’s Playground

13Jul08

Our first view of Chalk Walk.

I have been looking forward to going to some of the Three Rivers Festival art events (Fort Wayne Museum Chalk Walk, Art in the Park) ever since I read about them in the festival guide. Kelly had to go out to interview people at the Chalk Walk for the story she’s writing on it for the paper, and, art lover that I am, invited myself along to at least immerse myself in the experience. To be honest, the only TRF events I’ve been to in the past were all junkfood or music related, so it was refreshing to see some local artists at work on such a nice day this year.

One of my favorites-the beginnings of a sidewalk replica of one of Andy Warhol's Marilyn Monroe screen prints.

After walking up and down Main Street admiring some of the miniature murals, we stumbled across Art in Park in Freimann Square. Here we found lawn art, handmade jewelry and paintings, among several other art media. I bought a small photo print of a Florentine cityscape from Aldis Knight of Lafayette for $4.25.

Kelly asks Deb Wofford of Noblesville some questions about her Friendship Spoons.
