A social art experiment to flood Grand Rapids' downtown with colorful
sidewalk chalk art drew thousands to Center City last weekend.
According to excerpts from the story:
GRAND RAPIDS -- Downtown flooded
Saturday without a drop of rain or a dam bursting. Instead, sidewalks
were awash with color as thousands of children, college students,
adults and senior citizens descended on a sunny, warm central city for
the first-ever Grand Rapids Chalk Flood, a free event organized by
20-year-old Rob Bliss.
"I'm really happy.
It's such a beautiful day, easily the best day in all of April," said
Bliss, as artists of all shapes, sizes, ages and colors were spilling
over from Rosa Parks Circle on to sidewalks throughout downtown.
