The 18th Annual Dogwood Arts Chalk Walk returns on Saturday, April 11, 2026! Thousands of art lovers will head to Downtown Knoxville to watch over 300 artists and teams transform the sidewalks into a stunning open-air gallery. Artists will work from 8AM–5PM, with an Awards Ceremony at 7PM on the Market Square Stage.
The festival is produced by Dogwood Arts, a (501c3) organization that promotes and celebrates the art, culture, and natural beauty of East Tennessee. We have a 70-year history of arts advocacy, environmental stewardship, and economic impact in East Tennessee. The Festival is one of 20+ year-round programs and events that help make Knoxville a great place to live, work, and play!
