The Upper Peninsula Children’s Museum invites the community to come Paint the Downtown with Love as part of the 2021 City of Marquette Art Week! This chalk art festival is free and open to all. The UPCM will provide paint and brushes; supply pick-up and painting will take place from 12:00pm-3:00pm on Friday and Saturday, June 25-26. Participants can check in at the UPCM Courtyard at 123 W Baraga Ave., where they will be assigned to a sidewalk.

Pre-registration is encouraged, though walk-ins are welcome as long as supplies last. For more information or to sign up, please visit http://www.upchildrensmuseum.org/2021/05/04/paint-the-downtown-with-love-june-25-and-26/.

Interested in sponsoring a sidewalk? $100 and $500 sponsorships are available; all sponsors are named on sidewalks, will be featured in social media, and will directly benefit the Children’s Museum.

Paint the Downtown with Love is made possible thanks to the support of Vango’s, the Marquette Food Co-op, Tailored CPAs P.C., and Marquette Automotive.
