This year's theme is "Delicious Inspiration".
For more information, see the linked PDFs or read the following information. (The PDFs have more detail than you can see here).

Each artist or team will be matched up with one of our local Hudson Valley vendors. Artists will be informed of their vendor when notified of participation.
Let the market as a whole, or perhaps the charming, unique historic setting along with
your vendor’s locally harvested foods or delicious handmade offerings serve as your
inspiration to create a work of art in chalk celebrating the bounty of the farmers’ market
and the season. Paintings will be completed in designated areas, and participation is limited.
Towels or kneepads are recommended for the comfort of all participants.
