Saturday’s Longmont Main Street Chalk Festival was a part of a revamped Longmont ArtWalk Summer on the Streets series put on by the Firehouse Art Center. Instead of a giant event that shuts down vehicle traffic in the heart of downtown, smaller celebrations were scheduled on the sidewalks this year.

The Longmont Main Street Chalk Festival on Saturday will transform concrete into canvases for 15 local artists. Although observers won’t be able to draw on the sidewalks as they have in years past, people can watch the artists create their works and vote online for their favorite. And volunteers are still needed for the event, too.

The auction will include artwork from 17 international artists who have created pieces inside miniature walls designed by Longmont artist Regis Turocy, and then shrunk and photographed to create a virtual gallery.
