The streets of downtown Palo Alto became a little brighter Saturday and Sunday, as more than 60 sidewalk chalk artists turned Tasso Street into a giant canvas for the 30th annual Palo Alto Festival of the Arts.
The artists recreated famous works of art – from Johannes Vermeer’s Girl with a Pearl Earring to Octavio Ocampo’s Visions of Quixote – in sections of street that ranged from 4-by-6 feet to 12-by-12 feet. Palo Alto city officials closed Tasso Street between Lytton Street and University Avenue for the chalk showcase, which was part of the larger festival lining University Avenue.
