West Bend's Art & Chalk Fest drew artists and guests to the Museum of Wisconsin Art Saturday for the first day of the two-day event.
This year's event was the fifth annual, with more than 20 professional chalk artists transforming the museum's parking lot into a concrete canvas of chalk masterpieces, many of them interactive and appearing three-dimensional. During the event, the chalk artists render amazing large-scale compositions on a 10 x 10-foot parcel of pavement.
Visitors could also get a caricature drawing of themselves or see clay sculpted into handmade vessels on a pottery wheel all while listening to live music.
