ArtBlock began in 2012 as a new feature of downtown's 1st Wednesday Street Parties and features local artists, sculptors and jewelry crafters, all who specialize in exquisite, hand-made arts and crafts. During each event, a pre-selected artist will be in attendance to offer live demonstrations and discuss their work. ArtBlock will occur through the duration of each event on Angela Street at the same location as the Pleasanton Saturday Farmer’s Market. The street will be closed to traffic from 6 to 9 p.m. Wednesday with a large area reserved for both kids and adults to create their own chalk art.
