The annual “Chalk The Walk” art event — Iowa’s first and largest Madonnari Festival — began Saturday, May 1, and presents the work of more than 200 artists. Artists of every age and ability participated, and the entire community takes part in creating a 3000-square-foot recreation of a famous painting.
“Chalk The Walk” continues on Sunday, May 2, from 10am-6pm.
