Chalk the Walk Newcastle 2023
The annual chalk drawing festival Chalk the Walk Newcastle 2023 ran from late September to early October 2023. This year’s theme, All Creatures Great and Small was reflected in the drawings, which ranged from whales to spiders.
As a bonus, Jenny McCracken’s whales located outside Harry’s Cafe de Wheels on Market Street lawn will be a permanent 3D pavement mural. Although the other murals had some protection added to protect them from the rain, this was only temporary and they have now been removed.
To see what else there is to do in New South Wales, please see some of our other stories.
I have seen similar chalk drawings before and am so impressed with the artists’ ability to render them in what seems like 3-D.
You’re right the artists are very talented to be able to bring them to 3D. This was the first time we had seen some for ourselves and not just on the internet.
That’s very cool, I really liked the pond with the frogs
The fogs were great and the spider a bit creepy
