🌧️🎨 FROM RAINOUT TO RAINBOW! 🌈 The first drops of our #ChalkFloodMCMA are already falling! One of our very own Marietta Cobb Museum of Art staff members took to the sidewalk to help kick off our worldwide celebration of chalk art—and remind us that a little rain can help beautiful things grow. 🌸☂️ Chalktoberfest 2026 may have been canceled, but the creativity isn’t going anywhere! Now it’s your turn! We’re calling on artists, families, and chalk lovers everywhere to help us flood the internet with art! 🎨 CREATE: Make a chalk masterpiece wherever you are. 📸 SHARE: Post your creation, tag @chalktoberfest and @mariettacobbartmuseum, and use #ChalkFloodMCMA. ❤️ SUPPORT: The Marietta Cobb Museum of Art is the small nonprofit organization behind Chalktoberfest. With the cancellation of our largest annual fundraiser, every donation makes a difference. ☕🍺🍷🥤 The price of a beverage can help keep the arts flowing! Consider donating $5, $8, $10, or whatever you can to support our exhibitions, arts education, and community programming. Visit www.mariettacobbartmuseum.org to make a donation. We couldn’t bring the world’s chalk artists to Marietta Square, so let’s bring their art to the world! They forecast a flood. Let’s give them a flood of chalk art! 🌈 #ChalkFloodMCMA #Chalktoberfest #MariettaCobbMuseumOfArt

🌈 What began as a heartbreaking cancellation has become a beautiful reminder of why the arts matter. Over the past several days, we’ve watched creativity and generosity ripple far beyond Marietta Square. From artists sharing their talents across the globe to local businesses finding their own ways to participate, this community has reminded us that the spirit of Chalktoberfest isn’t confined to one weekend—or one place. We’re especially grateful to everyone who has contributed to the Marietta Cobb Museum of Art. Your support helps sustain the exhibitions, educational opportunities, and creative experiences that our small nonprofit brings to the community year-round. There’s still much to do, and we’re exploring new opportunities to bring people together and continue recovering from the cancellation. In the meantime, enjoy some of the incredible artwork shared in support of our museum. Each piece tells its own story of generosity, resilience, and connection. ❤️ If you’d like to support our mission, visit mariettacobbartmuseum.org to make a donation. And to our artists, supporters, volunteers, and neighbors: we’re so grateful to have you in our corner. 🎨 #ChalkFloodMCMA #Chalktoberfest #MariettaCobbMuseumOfArt
