Downtown Burbank ARTS Festival

Streets will be filled to capacity with artists, street painters and more than 25,000 attendees during the four-block Downtown Burbank ARTS Festival. Featured will be some of Southern California's most talented street painters bringing art to life on asphalt and concrete. Artists include Chris Brake, Gus Moran, Juan Manuel Ramal, Lury Norris, Nick Gonzalez, Randall Williams, Ruth Villa and Theresa Knopf Morgan. They will be working all weekend creating ephemeral masterpieces, and the finished 10- by 10- chalk paintings will be ready for viewing Sunday afternoon (April 15). In addition, there will be 90 regional artists displaying thousands of paintings, sculptures and photographs as well as an astonishing array of jewelry, fine glass, ceramics and woodwork -- with everything made by hand. Founded by Downtown Burbank Partnership in 2003, the Downtown Burbank ARTS Festival is a biannual event produced in partnership with West Coast Artists. The fall show occurs November 3 and 4.
