The Heart of Albany Festival is the Albany Museum of Art’s annual gift to the community. Now in its 7th year, the fall festival, formerly known as ChalkFest, is a celebration of art and community. Admission is free for everyone! 

Watch professional chalk artists create 50-square-foot and larger works of art on the pavement while you enjoy live music, art demonstrations, food, and libations on a crisp fall Saturday on the grounds of the Albany Museum of Art, 311 Meadowlark Drive, in Albany, GA.

Applications will be updated by mid-May for the 2024 festival, which will be held on Saturday, November 16.
