🎨📸 ALL RIGHT, HERE’S YOUR CHANCE — FIND YOUR ART! 👀😂

We’ve got another Lowe Park Chalk Art Festival photo dump coming at you — this time it’s all about the ART. ❤️

We pulled together 20 photos of the incredible chalk creations that took over Lowe Park, and now we need your help:

👉🏾 Swipe through. Find your piece. TAG YOURSELF!
👉🏾 See something your friend made? TAG THEM!
👉🏾 Have a favorite? Give that artist some love in the comments! ❤️🎨

Professional artists, community artists, first-timers, tiny humans with chalk-covered hands — you helped turn a regular sidewalk into an outdoor gallery. 🙌🏾

So go find yourself. 👀 And yes, brag a little. YOU MADE ART IN THE MIDDLE OF A PARK. 😂👏🏾

Thank you to everybody who came out, picked up some chalk, and helped make Lowe Park ridiculously colorful for the day.

🎨🏆 THE RESULTS ARE IN — AND THESE ARTISTS CAME TO CHALK! 🏆🎨

One of our favorite parts of the Lowe Park Chalk Art Festival is watching artists come back year after year and seeing what they create next. The ideas get bigger. The techniques evolve. The sidewalks get more ambitious. And somehow they keep reminding us that, yes, you can do ALL THAT with chalk. 😩🙌🏾

This year, we’re celebrating three incredible returning artists who brought their talent back to Lowe Park:

🥇 1st Place — Karen Montoya
⭐ Facebook: Starfish and Coffee

🥈 2nd Place — Laura Buscemi
🎨 Instagram: .angelic.artist

🥉 3rd Place — Sydney Jae Wong
🎨 Instagram: .art

And a HUGE congratulations to Karen Montoya for taking home FIRST PLACE! 🥇❤️ Karen has continued to show up, create, and share her art with this community, and we are so damn proud to see her take the top prize this year.

Laura and Sydney have also returned to create with us, and getting to watch artists come back and continue developing their work is part of what makes this festival so special. Art isn’t static. Artists aren’t static. Every year gives us another opportunity to see what somebody imagines, experiments with, improves, or decides to try next.

And nowwww… 👀

👉🏾 SWIPE RIGHT TO SEE THE ACTUAL WINNING ART.

Because the faces got the AI-poster treatment, but their artwork belongs to THEM. ❤️🎨

And before we go, another enormous thank-you to the sponsors and community partners who helped make the 2026 festival possible: Fitchburg Cultural Council, Fitchburg Cultural Alliance, Fidelity Bank, Creative Fitchburg / Dream It. Create It., Fitchburg State University – Crocker Center for Civic Engagement, Work Inc., Fitchburg Art Museum, Fitchburg Parks & Recreation, NewVue Communities, RC Excitement, Espresso Pizza, Finicky Fork, Rise & Grind, 99 Restaurant, and Rio’s Pizza.

❤️ Congratulations again to Karen, Laura, and Sydney — and thank you for continuing to come chalk with us.

Seriously — this festival does not happen without you.

Whether you contributed funding, resources, space, supplies, food, volunteers, partnerships, or good old-fashioned “What do y’all need?” energy — you are an integral part of making the Lowe Park Chalk Art Festival happen. ❤️

So please help us give a BIG Lowe Park thank-you to:

✨ Fitchburg Cultural Council
✨ Fitchburg Cultural Alliance
✨ Fidelity Bank
✨ Fitchburg State University – Crocker Center for Civic Engagement
✨ Work Inc.
✨ Fitchburg Art Museum
✨ Fitchburg Parks & Recreation

✨ Chalk art doesn’t just happen once a year in the park — we can bring it to your program too! 💗💙💚

Tamara R. Darcy recently popped up at McKay High School with McKay Transitions students through BrushStrokes and Beyond, an art-focused, community-based day program in Fitchburg serving adults with different abilities.

Art creates opportunities for confidence, connection, creativity, and community — and making those opportunities accessible means more people get a chance to participate and shine. 🎨✨

Interested in bringing a chalk art pop-up to your program or event? Reach out to Tamara R. Darcy at [email protected] to learn more about pop-ups or the BrushStrokes and Beyond program.

💗 Making creativity accessible.
💙 Building community.
💚 Together.
