Via Colori November 22, 2008

The third annual Via Colori® street painting festival is coming to downtown Houston. The event will showcase more than 175 artists and benefit The Center for Hearing and Speech (CHS).

Professional artists and talented hobbyists will create masterpieces directly on Bagby and Allen Parkway using pastels. This is a family-friendly, free, weekend event, with all profits from sponsorships and donations benefiting CHS.

Via Colori will also feature live entertainment in Via Musica and Via Cafe, children’s activities in Via Bambini, and food and beverage concessions.
Via Colori is the modern-day version of a Renaissance art form in which disabled veterans would paint pictures directly on the pavement of courtyards of the great Italian cathedrals to earn a living.
