H Street Chalk Walk and Brunch Around This Saturday

On Saturday Sept. 10, H Street Main Street and Capitol Hill’s Chamber of Commerce (CHAMPS) will host the first ever Chalk Walk on H Street NE. H Street Chalk Walk is a day-long event that will allow attendees to watch artists working live, in partnership with H Street businesses, to create sidewalk art with the theme, “My Neighborhood is My Business.”

The Chalk Walk will begin at 10 a.m. when artists are allowed to start working on their creations. Visitors are encouraged to stroll along the 12-block “canvas” of H Street from 3rd Street to 15th Street and watch the artists work. Attendees will also have an opportunity to leave their mark on a community mural at 3rd and H Streets, NE. During the event restaurants along the corridor will host a “Brunch Around,” which will feature discounts and specials for attendees.

From 3 p.m. until 6:30 p.m., the artists’ work will be on view to the public who will be able to vote on the pieces that they feel best embody the “My Neighborhood is My Business” theme. The People’s Choice and the Judges’ Choices will be announced at 7:30pm at Little Miss Whiskey’s Golden Dollar at 1104 H Street NE.

The Chalk Walk event is funded in part by a grant from the Office of the Deputy Mayor for Planning and Economic Development’s Neighborhood Investment Fund.
