SPARKcon 2009: September 17-20

artSPARK is part of SPARKcon, a creative showcase and conference!

Street Painting CALL FOR ARTISTS!
The 11th annual Raleigh Street Painting event will be held on Fayetteville Street as a part of SPARKcon. Visual Art Exchange produces the festival, which last year had a record number of artists (over 400!) chalking for an intense 27 hours and transforming the street into a work of art. 10,000 visitors came to watch the artists and participate in the many creative (and free!) components of the festival including People's Choice voting, The Scrap Exchange, KidsCHALK, a weaving wall, free face painting and more.

Experimental Video Lounge CALL FOR ARTISTS!
Single screen projections, video sculpture and installation works will all be exhibited by local experimental artists!

Digital Gallery, In The Street Galleries and Showcases CALL FOR ARTISTS!
A chance for the whole community to see the work of a variety of local artists (including you!) in windows, galleries, projected on walls, etc. We're going to turn the street into a giant outdoor gallery!

VAE partners with SPARKcon to present artSPARK: a creative art showcase!
