Marking the 90th birthday of the Tel Aviv suburb Ramat Hasharon was the city’s inaugural Festival of Street Painting.

The Festival featured the talents of chalk artists, painters, environmental sculptors and musicians from Israel and Holland, Italy, the United States and Russia. “We see it in between art and performance art,” says 3D sidewalk artists, Anat Ronen.

This video highlights some of the spectacular art seen at the festival, including several creative-looking faces, a diving board into a sea of colorful balls, and the ever-popular troll bridge, along with a special activity for kids using neon chalk.  Best of all, the video highlights the smiles, laughter, and unity of the community.

Says Guy Kelner, “Ramat Hasharon sees its future combined with art and culture.”
