Straatkrijt Festival Schunck

Chalk festival

Do you like being creative, using your imagination and, basically, just messing around with others? We are challenging everyone to create their own artwork from chalk, based on the work of artist Keith Haring. 

Where

Gebrookerplein Hoensbroek

Price

€ 0,-

On 13, 15 and 16 July, we will work with (pavement) chalk just like Keith Haring. We will be inspired by his drawings, only we will use the square as our canvas. We will provide the crayons, the music and some drinks. All you have to do is come along and join in. Everyone can join in, so use your imagination and do things you might never have done before!

We will be staging a square in three locations:

  • Edition Hoensbroek, 13 July, Gebrookerplein Hoensbroek, from 12:30 p.m. to 4:00 p.m.
  • Edition Heerlen Centrum, 15 July, Bongerd and Pancratiusplein Heerlen, from 11:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.
