What's not to love? 10-6 Saturday and Sunday, Aug. 26-27, on University Avenue in downtown Palo Alto. Will you be there?
The word “canvas”—as the public knows it—takes on a whole new meaning if you're a street painter. In fact, this art form—using only chalk pastels—is traditionally very fleeting. Hours and hours are spent creating these works of art; only to have them washed away in a single hour, as if they had never been.
The Italian Street Painting Expo, presented by the Palo Alto Weekly, gives the opportunity for two local non-profits to raise much-needed funds to implement community service programs. Monies raised from the Kids Chalk-a-Lot area (toward the end of Tasso) will benefit Youth Community Service; and monies raised from sponsored artists’ street paintings will benefit Ada’s Cafe. Be sure to stop by and help support both worthy organizations.
This year’s Featured Artist: Ever Galvez is classically trained in painting, drawing, conceptual art, sculpture and traditional animation. Galvez, an award-winning chalk painter, is also a fine artist with more than 15-years’ experience.
Festival weekend, he will be bringing his talents from Southern California to create an enormous 200 square-foot 3D image at the corner of Tasso & University. His visual imagery, always a crowd-pleaser, will be sure to bring enjoyment & lasting memories to all observers.
Don't miss this temporary art exhibit at "ground level" where a burst of color, design, and awe-inspiring paintings are brought to life in chalk.

Street chalk art was introduced in Italy in the 16th century and has since flourished throughout Europe and the United States bringing many more innovative artists to the scene to try their hand at chalk painting.
This year’s Italian Street Painting Expo will host a variety of “larger-than-life” chalk paintings which reflect each artists’ passion of this unique art form. Replicas of work from “old masters” to “anamorphic” styles, will cover the pavement on Tasso—from University to Lytton.
Monies raised from the Italian Street Painting Expo will benefit two local non-profits— Youth Community Service & Ada’s Cafe.

FEATURED ARTIST: Sarah Sangster will display her mixed media art “inspired by the golden hills and spirited environment of Northern California.”
“I landed in the whimsical, colorful world of abstract and figurative painting quite by accident more than ten years ago through a three-day workshop called Painting from the Soul. Having trained as a lawyer, I had never picked up a paintbrush in my life, but I quickly embraced and was exhilarated by the unlimited world of art. Painting has allowed me to let go of my natural structure and consistency and to express the world in a more dynamic and evolving way. In my creative life, I can express the chaos and whimsy around me: sometimes taming it and sometimes letting it run free. I hope the abstract works I paint are more compelling because I resist telling the viewer what they are supposed to see, but rather show them a journey they might take.” ~ Sarah Sangster

FEATURED ARTIST: Shirley Lehner-Rhoades will present her beautiful watercolor and oil fine art paintings. “Watercolor painting has been my medium of choice for many years because it has allowed me a level of spontaneity that isn’t as accessible in other media. But more recently, I’ve concentrated on oil painting, because I find it an even more satisfying medium.” ~ Shirley Lehner-Rhoades

FEATURED ARTIST: Eugene Perry Metal Art will showcase his flowing, abstract, contemporary sculptures.
“When I started creating my metal sculptures, I found that I was returning again and again to forms that exhibited a modern abstract style which utilized recurring themes.
While I use a variety of metals, techniques, process and patinas during fabrication, my finished pieces can be distinguished by their simplicity and grace of line and color using circular and curved forms which evoke themes of movement, the human form, and family.” ~ Eugene Perry

FEATURED ARTIST: Mixed media artist Ash Beheshti will showcase his mixed media figurative collages. “I consider myself a visual storyteller. I voice my stories by painting on canvases and by captured images using my camera. My inspiration comes from the world around me as well as the world inside my head. As a self-taught artist from a young age, I've experimented with a vast array of styles, techniques, and materials to create original art. My preference and expertise, however, is in the usage of mixed media to construct, shape and color my images.“ ~ Ash Beheshti

Fulfill Your Dreams…Play Me!
Join the millions of “wanna-be” to professional pianists nation-wide who couldn’t resist sitting down at a “Play Me” piano and filling the air with melodious music.
Look for Chopin & Chandeliers' interactive “Play Me” piano located on the plaza—corner of University and Tasso. Surrounded by colorful and whimsical chandeliers, made from recycled plastic bottles, you can’t miss it.
These are not your typical chandeliers as seen in many homes or lavish atriums. Instead, these decorative chandeliers are better known as the art of up-cycling. The process of converting old or discarded materials into something useful and often beautiful.
Presented by Stanford Medicine, festival attendees will be mesmerized by these up-cycled plastic bottles re-created into vibrantly-colored "Chihuly-like" sculptures.
A chance to perform on the tree-shaded outdoor piano will be an unexpected and joyful experience. Who knows who will sit down at the keys? Who knows who will stop to listen? Definitely a YouTube moment.
