Welcome to the Annual Lake Worth Street Painting Festival!
Watch as over 400 Artists use the pavement as canvas to transform
downtown Lake Worth into a temporary outdoor museum of original
art and masterpiece reproductions.
Watch the streets come alive as the artists transform the
pavement into works of art. It happens the last weekend
of every February in downtown Lake Worth, Florida. |

The great tradition of street painting began in Italy in the 16th
century. A crowd would gather whenever an itinerant artist
used his chalks to turn the ordinary pavement into a fine work of
art. Although the "painting" would only last until
the next rain, the tradition of street painting has endured over
400 years.
 |
The
downtown streets will be brimming with over 200 street paintings,
sponsored by businesses, organizations, and individuals.
Artists will fill the pavement with their works of
art. The festival will also include strolling minstrels,
jazz, classical music, dance, theatre, improvisation, and
an array of street side cafes.

The Young Artist Studio features the street paintings of Palm
Beach County elementary, middle, and high school students. |
