Chalkmont Chalk Artists for Rhythm at Roosevelt
Chalkmont is kicking off Longmont Art Week at Rhythm at Roosevelt. Celebrate 30 years of Rhythm at this year’s Rhythm at Roosevelt! Join us Saturday, September 6 for the final Rhythm festival with a full day of free music, art, food, and fun in Roosevelt Park. This special anniversary edition honors three decades of community, creativity, and unforgettable performances in the heart of Longmont. DATE: SEPT. 6, 2025 TIME TO CREATE: 2PM-7PM VOTING FOR PEOPLE’S CHOICE CLOSES: 8PM ($100 prize for 18+ and under 18) SET UP: 12PM-2PM During CHALKMONT AT RHYTHM, 10 adult (4’x4′ square) and 10 youth (3′ x 3′ square) community artists will join together to create chalk art throughout 4th Avenue. These artists will turn concrete into a vivid canvas of colorful chalk art. WHAT YOU’LL SEE: Creating these amazing works of art requires more than just scribbling on the sidewalk. First, the artist must draw an outline of the original painting in proper proportion using pencil or a charcoal pastel. Then they begin to lay the base of colors. Using a number of colored pastels, the artist layers the chalk, blending the colors to create shadow, contrast and depth. The art may not last long, but that’s sort of the point. Details What
