Presented by Publix and the James M. Barnett, Jr. Foundation, The Heart of Albany Festival is the Albany Museum of Art’s annual gift to the community. Now in its 6th 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.
