Thursday morning several
students from local elementary classrooms were hard at work in
downtown Lincoln, putting their artistic stamp on the sidewalks
around the square and beyond. As the day progressed, students
from other
classrooms also came out and contributed to this second year of the
sidewalk chalk
art project in connection with the annual Lincoln Art & Balloon
Festival. According
to Kathy Vinyard of the city of Lincoln, who co-chairs the project
with Roy Logan of the park district, more than 20 classrooms signed
up to participate this year.
All the art projects were expected to be
finished by the end of the day on Thursday, though Vinyard said last
year some of them finished under the glow of the streetlights.
