Artpace Teen Council

Chalk it Up is a yearly, family-friendly arts event produced by contemporary arts laboratory Artpace, in which participating artists and festival goers create temporary site-specific chalk murals on Downtown Houston Street. The Artpace Teen Council has 15 San Antonio high school students who act as contemporary art ambassadors by connecting other teens to Artpace, a world-renowned contemporary art non-profit. Through its San Antonio residency program, Artpace brings in some of the most innovative art and artists from around the world. For Luminaria 2015, The Artpace Teen Council creates a San Antonio Memory Map, an interactive, glow-in-the-dark chalk art piece upon which audience participants are invited to tag their memories of certain places in the city, using a special legend.

Due to the Hurricane, Artpace Teen Council was unable to participate in Luminaria 2015.
