Have you ever wanted to create your own street art?
On Saturday, June 6, visitors of all ages are invited to take part in Chalk with us during the grand opening of the newest World Street Painting gallery in Joplin.
While sixteen international artists put the finishing touches on their spectacular 3D artworks this week, Saturday is your chance to grab a piece of chalk and leave your own mark on the Route 66 Centennial celebration. Draw a memory, create a masterpiece, write a message, or simply have fun with family and friends.
No experience is needed, and all materials will be provided.
The activity takes place alongside the public reveal of sixteen brand-new 3D street paintings, created by artists from around the world. Together with the artworks from 2024 and 2025, they form the world’s largest open-air 3D street painting gallery.
