The “Chalk the Walk 2014” event was party time for happy and dusty-fingered artists at St. Ann Catholic Church’s annual block party on Sept. 13.
Area businesses sponsored local artists, and children had their own special area to exercise their artistic talents.
Last year’s winner, Jennifer Hughes, was this year’s featured artist. Formerly employed by The National Ornamental Metal Museum as registrar, she now works for the Arkansas Secretary of State as the archives/exhibits specialist, managing historical collections and designing interpretive exhibits and displays at the Arkansas State Capitol in Little Rock.
She now lives in Cabot, Ark., with her husband and two children.
The awards ceremony was sponsored by Wiemar’s Jewelry.
