STANTHORPE is set to get a colourful temporary make-over this Christmas, thanks to the local Chamber of Commerce.
THE Stanthorpe Chamber is launching a “Sidewalk Chalk Art” competition in conjunction with the Light Up Stanthorpe market night on Friday 28 November.
The chamber is calling on would-be artists of all ages (nine plus) to help provide a temporary footpath gallery.
Working in groups or on their own, participants will be able to create a Christmas-themed drawing on designated areas of the footpath along the main street.
There will be 12 locations designated for the drawings and chalk will be provided for each area.
Entry forms are available in Stanthorpe and must be returned to Edith at Furniture One for participants to secure their spots.
The event is sponsored by “Maddie’s Gift Gallery” and prizes will be awarded for the best drawing and runner-up as well as participation awards.
