AASF partnered with the Ann Arbor District Library for the interactive event, which called on locals to show off their best sidewalk chalk skills and upload pictures to social media as part of AADL’s Summer Game.
It's #a2chalkday! We've partnered with @davidzinn_art and the @AASummerFest to provide prizes for the best chalk art done across Ann Arbor today.
