Via Colori Houston street painting festival is all it’s chalked up to be
Chinedu Onochie works on her chalk art piece during the Via Colori Houston festival at the Post HTX building on Saturday, April 2, 2022, in Houston.Houston’s two-day chalk art festival is back after a more than two-year hiatus, offering artists of all ages a laid-back, interactive canvas in a downtown parking lot.
The event has previously raised hundreds of thousands of dollars for its former host organization, the Texas Hearing Institute . They stopped hosting the event after an organizational shift, which included a merger with Texas Children’s Hospital. Ophthalmologist Marlene Morales Tollett, 42, has directed the group’s artistic vision: a large eye with a reflection of the American continents.
Nearby, Via Colori veteran Lily Alonso said she first participated in Via Colori Houston in 2007, when she was a junior at Sam Rayburn High School in Pasadena. She has been attending as an artist on and off ever since.
