CHALK IT UP TO SACRAMENTO ITS THE CHALK OF THE TOWN - California Arts Council General Operating Support With support from the California Arts Council, Chalk It Up to Sacramento will continue its recovery as an organization and recommit to its mission to empower the next generation of Sacramento artists and the program’s that inspire them.

Arts Education Grant Program: awarding mini grants to teachers, schools, and programs that encourage the creative expression of young people throughout the Sacramento region. Grants can be to fund specific projects or field trips, or a simple “Art Supply Closet Restock” grant. Chalk It Up Festival: a three-day celebration of local artists and the arts community.

This festival, one of the last of the free, family-friendly festivals in Midtown Sacramento, has seen a remarkable increase in visitors over the last three years.

With hundreds of artists creating sidewalk chalk murals, dozens of local artisans and makers, local food and treat vendors, a beer garden, and a diverse line-up of live local musicians and DJs, the festival is a true reflection of the diverse and inclusive Sacramento art scene. It’s the way that approximately 40k people, from all walks of life, choose to celebrate their Labor Day Weekend.

High School Self-Portrait Show: While athletes have games, actors put on shows, and musicians have concerts, we’ve discovered that visual artists need more opportunities to showcase their work in a professional gallery setting. The High School Self-Portrait Show is a unique platform that allows high school artists to proudly display their art to their peers and the community at a juried art show.

The jury is made up of local artists, art teachers, and Chalk It Up Board and committee members. We host a 2nd Saturday Artists’ Reception and Awards Ceremony where we award cash prizes to students and grants to the teachers of the winning students. The show is open to the public for a full month during March, which is Arts Education Month in California.
