sidewalk artists

Chalk-on-concrete creators

Sidewalk artists create art in public spaces, typically drawing with chalk on pavement.

The term covers both street performers who produce temporary works for tips and vendors who display portable art for sale.

Sidewalk artists had set up along the boardwalk.

The work ranges from elaborate chalk murals to quick portrait sketches of passersby.
