The First Annual Chalk Walk took place in Bucerias on January 20-22, and was a huge success! One whole block on the main avenue, Lazaro Cardenas, was closed off for the event. Christy Beguesse, the owner of Broken Art Gallery in Bucerias, organized the event along with a team of volunteers from around Bucerias and La Cruz. The intention was to bring a Mondannari Festival to Bucerias to stimulate tourism and initiate an annual cultural event. Several professional chalk artists from both the US and Mexico participated during the 3-day event. Lori Escalera and Julio Jimenez were two of the artists. PEACE was asked to participate by providing volunteers and the children for the workshop. Over 20 children between the ages of 3-15 spent Friday morning taking a small workshop from the artists. They were given a bag of chalk and a square to create their artwork. What a sight!
