Chalk art will turn Gig Harbor’s waterfront sidewalks into a blocks-long art gallery during Chalk the Harbor from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 15.
The event, sponsored by the Gig Harbor Downtown Waterfront Alliance, includes live music, a community-created art project and appearances by the Puget Sound Glassblowing mobile hot shop and professional chalk artist Raziah Roushan. Roushan will create a huge maritime-themed mural at Skansie Park.
Skansie Park will also host a “Buoy Oh Buoy” community art project made up of fishing floats and nets embellished with hand-painted, nautical-themed tags. Pick up a blank tag, paint it and add it to the installation.
The park is also place to register for the chalk art competition and pick up free chalk. Registration will be open from 9 a.m. to noon in youth, teen, family, adult and group categories…
