Artists Use Pavement As Canvas For The Denver Chalk Art Festival

DENVER (CBS4) - Larimer Square was looking a little more colorful than usual over the weekend because of the Denver Chalk Art Festival.

More than 200 artists spent hours turning pavement into works of art. They were chalk masterpieces using pavement as canvas.

The artists say it's definitely a unique experience.

"It's almost like a performance art. You experience it," artist Kyle Banister said. "If it rains, it rains; it's part of the experience."

The festival was held on Saturday and Sunday.
