Chalk the Walk, taking place Oct. 21 – 23, invites Georgia Tech students to transform a 9-by-9-foot section of sidewalk leading to the Library into a vibrant outdoor gallery celebrating literature and art.

Participants will select a favorite book and create either an artistic rendition of its cover or a reimagined interpretation using sidewalk chalk.

Registration is now open and closes Oct. 8. To submit a book cover concept and sketch, click here. Approved participants will receive their space assignments Oct. 17.

Participants will create their artwork Oct. 21 – 23, turning a highly visible campus pathway into a temporary public art installation that celebrates creativity, reading, visual storytelling, and Georgia Tech spirit.

An opening event will take place Friday, Oct. 23, from noon to 2 p.m. on the patio of the Rich Building near the Price Gilbert Memorial Library entrance on Fourth Street.

Finished works will remain on display throughout Homecoming Week, weather permitting.

Chalk the Walk is a Georgia Tech Library and Georgia Tech Arts Collaboration.
