We learned last year that if we wanted to see any of the Carlsbad Art Splash<\/a><\/strong> transitory chalk art in it’s completed form we’d have to visit on Sunday afternoon. This year we did, however, artists like Jennifer<\/strong> (pictured above) and many others were still hard at work on their pieces knowing full well that they art they were creating would be gone by sunrise.<\/p>\n

\"Rotary\"<\/a>“We have to get all this cleaned up by midnight tonight, because they’re driving on this in the morning,” said Mary Beth McFaul<\/strong> (pictured left) while she worked on the Rotary Club art piece.<\/p>\n

Obviously, the dozens of artists working on the street enjoy the process over the permanence and that’s part of what makes Art Splash so much fun for the thousands of visitors who strolled up and down Armada Drive this weekend.<\/p>\n

It wasn’t all spectating. In the Family Art Carnival<\/strong> (below) families were given a square and tools to make their own chalk paintings, make hats out of newspaper, or learn the ancient art of origami.<\/p>\n
