Jax Chalk Fest is an annual event designed to utilize visual art as the important, practical and powerful communication tool that it is, by awarding scholarships for creativity and financial grants to artists with the help of The Concentric Arts Educational Fund. The Concentric Arts Educational Fund holds dear the belief that art is the foundation for our modern society. It supports, Engineering, Architecture, Manufacturing, Marketing and more. For ideas to grow into something tangible they have to be shared and expressed. Imagine trying to use only words to build a building or only words to describe a prototype for a new product. Everyone who participates is important in helping put art at the center of importance. It is our mission to foster creative thinking, healthy competition, encourage our creative students, celebrate the amazing talent that is here and make Jacksonville a better community by showing that Art Can Support Education. Art makes us smart!

Come show your support as these contestants create a beautiful event from the ground up!
