The third annual Kayenta Street Painting Festival returns to Coyote Gulch Art Village in Ivins on April 13 and 14, replete with awe-inspiring chalk murals created by students, local artists and professional “street painters.” Applications are now being accepted for artists, student teams, sponsors and volunteers for this year’s outdoor festival. Do you have what it takes to paint Kayenta red – and blue, and purple and every other color of the rainbow?

Street painting combines the passion of the artist with the excitement of the crowd. The Kayenta Street Painting Festival features world-class street painters, respected local artists, a high school competition and also a kids’ area. Whether you want to compete, just watch or let your kids try it out, the artistry of street painting is something you’ll not soon forget.

Every colorful mural completed by the artists and teams at the event will be sponsored by a local business, organization or individual/family. Proceeds from the festival benefit the nonprofit Kayenta Arts Foundation.

For information about becoming a sponsor, participating as an artist or volunteering, call (435) 817-7449, e-mail kayentastreetpainting@gmail.com or visit www.kayentastreetpainting.org.
