ABSOLUT CHALK MIAMI BEACH FESTIVAL - February 3 - 4, 2001

Chalk one up for the 225 painters and sculptors who came together from South Florida and several countries in Latin America to design spectacular works of art using their creativity and 15,000 sticks of chalk! After 8 consecutive years of presenting successful chalk art festivals in Pasadena, California, ABSOLUT brought together artists' spirit and creativity in Miami Beach, celebrating the cultural diversity of the artistic community. The festival featured 2 center pieces- "Absolut-ly Elemental" designed by artists from the Art Center/South Florida, and "Absolut Freedom" presented by renowned artist, Romero Britto. The event benefits the Light Bringer Project, a nonprofit organization in support of cultural art programs, with proceeds going to Art Center/South Florida, a nonprofit organization dedicated to advancing the practice of arts in South Florida.
