Capital Arts Street Chalk Art September 9 & 10 / Downtown, Jefferson City.   This Jefferson City tradition becomes more popular each year.  Friday will be an opportunity for school groups to show their creativity on the street.  Day two consists of live jazz and live art as the streets are lined with a diverse group of amateur and professional artists of all ages, chalking it up for top honors and prizes.  Whether recreating a well known piece of art or making an original, participants make the concrete come alive.  One need not be an artist to join in; all are encouraged to unleash their creativity in this day long event.
