More art is in store for Old Town North.

On October 15 (Saturday), a number of sidewalks and parking lots will be brightened by work from more than a dozen chalk artists.

October is National Arts & Humanities Month, and last weekend the Old Town Arts Alliance celebrated with the opening of an art gallery in the new Old Town North Arts District.

“This is the first major art event for the Arts District,” according to Agnes Artemel, President of the Old Town North Alliance. “We are looking forward to this event and bringing more art to OTN.” Members of the Alliance are actively participating in the Walk by providing space in which the artists can work, including Canal Center. and businesses like St. Elmo’s Coffee Pub and Made in ALX.”

The event is free and open to the public.
