The 5th Annual Via Colori Street Painting Festival took place downtown Houston, benefiting The Center for Hearing and Speech, a non-profit organization founded in 1947 that serves over 4,000 Houstonians annually. The weather was perfect, and over 200 artists shared their talents, impressing the crowd with their expertise and creativity. Everywhere we looked, there were terrific works of art drawn on the street with chalk, including Kermit the Frog, a rhino, Nemo, and many more. All were family-friendly and sponsored by generous donors. Three stages featured entertainers, and food and wine were available for purchase. If you missed the event this year, we highly recommend planning to attend next year.
