Street Painting
2026 Street Painting Artist Sign Ups NOW OPEN!
The 18th annual Via Colori® Street Painting Festival will be held October 24, 2026 – October 25, 2026.
Via Colori® Kentucky strives to embrace the courage behind creativity. Street Painting continues to be a popular category of art all over the world and we want to showcase the amazing talents of all of our artists. The first recorded street-painting competition and ‘festival’ was held in London in 1906. Over a hundred years later, we are still creating amazing works of art, that though temporary, are no less beautiful than those created a century ago. The Via Colori® Street Painting Festival is the modern day version of a centuries-old tradition in which dozens of volunteer artists create large-scale pastel artworks directly on the pavement of our waterfront.
2026 Sign Ups Now open!
NOTE – 10×10 Spaces will not be granted to first year Via Colori Street Painting Artists without a reference from a current artist, or affiliate with Via Colori and clear examples of artwork
Because our sponsors believe in supporting the arts, there is no charge for the artists, and materials are included.
Unfortunately there are no travel stipends for visiting artists at this time..
Via Colori® supports the efforts of the Girl Scouts of Kentuckiana.
By participating, the artist agrees to allow Via Colori to use photographs of them and of their finished and/or in-process work to be used for promotional purposes.
🎨 Meet our 2026 Via Colori Kentucky Featured Artist: Beth Baker! ✨
Beth Baker is a wife, mom, artist, and community volunteer who believes art has the power to bring people together. Art is her passion, and creativity is woven into everyday life for her family. Whether they’re painting, drawing, or creating sidewalk masterpieces, making art together is one of their favorite ways to connect.
Growing up as a Girl Scout, Beth developed a lifelong appreciation for creativity, service, and community. Girl Scouts is important to help young women build confidence, leadership skills, resilience, and a sense of responsibility toward their communities. It provides a space where girls can explore their interests, try new things, develop skills, and learn that their ideas and voices matter.
Beth believes that everyone can create something meaningful and fun. Chalk art is one of her favorite creative outlets because it transforms ordinary spaces into colorful, interactive experiences.
She especially loves participating in Via Colori®, where her family can create alongside other artists while sharing the excitement of public art with the community.
Via Colori® makes art accessible, allowing anyone to experience creativity outdoors, free of charge, regardless of age or background. It brings artists, families, volunteers, and local businesses together to celebrate creativity and build connections. Watching artists transform blank pavement into vibrant works of art inspires others to create, explore their imagination, and appreciate the arts.
Inspired by imagination, nature, and the connections art creates, Beth hopes her work invites viewers to pause, smile, and remember that even temporary art can create lasting memories. She is honored to be part of this exhibition and grateful for the opportunity to share her passion with others.

Sponsor an Artist
Via Colori® offers you at least one advantage not found at other festivals. At most art shows, the public sees the sponsor’s name once. But, because Via Colori artists are creating the work on the pavement during the festival, it changes each time the public passes. People return again and again to mark the progress of the work in the process, they see your name and logo, denoting your contribution. Signs denoting your sponsorship will be prominently displayed above a painting sponsored by you! Your sponsorship will also be listed on our website, social media accounts and highlighted throughout the year.
