Chalk One Up for the Arts with Sidewalk Sam 2008

The votes are counted!
For twelve years each August, “Chalk One Up” invites employees from corporations and non-profit groups to celebrate their spirit and creativity. Wonderful, imaginative artworks are created on Boston’s sidewalks by bankers, lawyers, accountants, secretaries and CEOs. Pedestrians smile and cheer on the artists, by putting gold stickers on the artworks they like. Thousands of stickers were placed on the artworks.  That’s a lot to count, but we did it!

Here are the ribbon winners for 2008 … Congratulations and a big Thank You to everyone who came out, shared their enthusiasm and created such wonderful art!

The photos of artworks do not necessarily represent the final sticker count.
