What better way to stop Petersburg’s cracking sidewalk problem than to brighten them up with original works of art created by some of the premier artists around? From now until September 11th, artists may sign up to have their talents immortalized on concrete.

The painting will take place daily from Saturday, September 13th thru Saturday October 2nd, 2009 and will be “unveiled” on Friday for the Arts, October 9th, 2009.

The art will adorn the sidewalks on much of the 200 block of N. Sycamore Street between Bank and Tabb Streets.

On Saturday, October 10th, from noon until 4, the sidewalk artists will sell their other art forms during the ART UNDERFOOT ART FAIR. Rain date is Sunday, October 11th from noon until 4pm. For more information or to request an Artist Participation Form, please call Kimberly Ann Calos at 804-586-1633 or email her at kimberlyanncalos@aol.com.
