Albany Museum of Art ChalkFest will usher in the holidays this Saturday (Nov 19) with a day packed with 11 professional chalk artists, steamroller printmaking, glassblowing demos, craft beer tastings, live music, community chalk artists, an activities area for kids and families, food trucks, and more than two-dozen vendors.

Glassblowing will be the hot new thing at Albany Museum of Art ChalkFest on Saturday, Nov 19, 2022, in downtown Albany.
 
Art students from Georgia Southwestern State University in Americus will demonstrate their glassblowing skills as they form glass art objects by inflating molten glass into a bubble with the aid of a blowpipe. The glassblowing demonstration area is the latest art addition to the 5th annual festival. Presented by Publix, AMA ChalkFest will be 10 am-5 pm on South Front Street and at Veterans Park Amphitheatre. Admission is free for everyone.

In addition to a new downtown Albany location, Albany Museum of Art ChalkFest will offer a new attraction when it returns on Saturday, Nov 19 – printmaking with a steamroller.
