Chalk-A-Lot Street stepped back in time during the Spring 2026 festival! 🌀🎞️🪩📻 The artists on 4th Street brought 'Vintage Vibes' to life, pulling inspiration from the 1920s through the 1980s with bold color, nostalgic references, and seriously impressive detail. Congrats to the Spring 2026 winners: 🏆 Best in Show: Anthony “Eli” Farias @elijahhthe_one 🏆 People’s Choice: Christy Biggers @creativebeingme Thank you to all of the chalk artists who participated this year. Each mural brought something different to the street, and every time you walked through you could hear someone say “how is that chalk??” 🤯 🌀 Jennifer J.

Introducing our Spring 2026 Featured Artist: Adam Gile ✨ Adam’s work, “Hardwood Anatomy,” blends laser-cut precision with richly stained wood to create pieces that feel both engineered and organic. Trained as a mechanical engineer, his background in engineering, glassblowing, and web development shows up in the structure, detail, and innovation woven into each piece. Born and raised in Encinitas, California and now based in Tempe, Arizona, Adam draws inspiration from the environments he’s called home. His work reflects thoughtful design grounded in place, shaped by experimentation across photography, ceramics, glass, and paint before fully committing to his multidisciplinary practice. We’re excited to spotlight his work this festival. Make sure booth #1140 is on your list, located at the intersection of 5th Street & Mill Avenue! #tempefestivalofthearts #tempeartfest #downtowntempe by @tempeartfest
