ROSEART

RoseArt created a “football field-sized” chalk-paint mural at the Santa Monica Pier on Tuesday, May 19, 2015. The massive mural featured a giant sun with seven interactive play zones for kids and beachgoers to enjoy. With RoseArt Washable Sidewalk Chalk Paint as the medium, the interactive mural is the largest work of art ever at the Santa Monica Pier. Occupying nearly 40,000 square feet of blacktop space, the mural required more than 2,500 pounds of Certified Non-Toxic chalk paint and roughly 360 man-hours. RoseArt donated $50,000 to Boys & Girls Clubs of America during the event. With budget limitations a constant threat to the arts, the donation will support Club art programs coast-to-coast. RoseArt Washable Sidewalk Chalk Paint transforms any sidewalk or blacktop surface into a blank canvas.‪#‎ChalkFullOfFun‬
