🌟 About the Event
| Back to School Crawl
Celebrate the new school year with Chalk It Up, Midland Art Crawl’s back-to-school community art night. Downtown comes alive with chalk murals, collaborative sidewalks, artist activations, food, music, and an explosion of creativity across participating venues.
This year, we’re proud to host our School Supply Drive to support local students. Guests are encouraged to bring essential items like notebooks, pencils, crayons, markers, glue sticks, folders, or backpacks.
Your contribution helps students start the year confident, prepared, and supported by their community.
Join us for an evening of art, connection, and generosity in the heart of Midland.
