As a former Advisory Board Member of the Mission Viejo 501 C-3 non-profit “Fun With Chalk” Childrens Creative Festival I continue to be amazed at the masterpieces drawn on the asphalt of a parking lot. While many of us receive emails showing similar creative works of art from Europe, you can simply drive to the Norman P. Murray Community and Senior Center in Mission Viejo and watch the artists create and finish their masterpieces in front of your eyes.
I have just received the following event Press Release:
Upcoming Street Painting Festival Marks 12th year of Entertaining and Giving
