•Denver’s Larimer Square hosted the Denver Chalk Art Festival in May and June 2014. The event featured the sidewalk creations of hundreds of chalk artists and chalk art followers. During the event, some 250 amateur and professional artists showcased their work on the ground in Larimer Square, which sprang to life in a sea of color. Photographers could take pictures of the art and submit it to the Capture the Color Photo Contest on Facebook, which awards two round-trip Southwest Airlines tickets to the winners.

•At the 2014 installment of the annual festival, organizers worked closely with the City of Denver to reduce and recycle as much waste as possible. In addition to recycling all materials used during the event and reusing carpet samples and remnants, the Denver Chalk Art Festival required vendors to use recycled products, minimize power output of diesel-operated generators, and reuse a wealth of materials from previous years.
