CPC, Sarasota Chalk Festival partner for sidewalk project
The Child Protection Center and International Sarasota Chalk Festival’s Avenue of Art are partnering to illustrate the innocence of childhood as part of their permanent sidewalk mural installation project.
The CPC will hold a ribbon-cutting event for phase one of the project with artists from Avenue of Art leadership on June 18 from 4-6:30 p.m. Roughly 50 sidewalk squares have been transformed outside of CPC at 720 S. Orange Ave. in downtown Sarasota. The Avenue of Art stretches from Mound Street to the Burns Court area and more than 300 sidewalk squares will be on display by this fall.
The event will include beverages, activities for kids, tours of CPC, a meet-and-greet with therapy dogs of PAWS, and the Empanada Girl food truck. Partners include Easterseals Southwest Florida, Sarasota Children’s Museum, Lipstick Lex, Second Heart Homes, Beck Lane, and Annie Dong. For information, visit cpcsarasota.org.
