Area Students Invited to Celebrate Life through Art

STBTC holds first Chalk Art Festival: Picassos under the Pavilion

(San Antonio, Texas) ─ In an effort to increase community awareness about life-saving donations, the South Texas Blood and Tissue Center (STBTC) is inviting area students (ages 5-18) and their families to participate in the Picassos under the Pavilion Chalk Art Festival being held on Saturday, April 10th from 9am – noon at the STBTC Donor Pavilion. The event theme is “Connect for Life” and will celebrate the donors and patients who have been connected through life-saving components such as blood, tissue, cord blood and marrow. Students will be able to express this theme through chalk artwork on our sidewalk in-front of our newest facility. Picassos under the Pavilion is aimed to educate the San Antonio community about how they can help those in need of life-saving components.

Festivities at Picassos under the Pavilion will include:

  • Sidewalk chalk art. Completed by various local students and their families; local artists are also invited to participate.
  • Face Painting. An activity where children can become the art.
  • Life Links. People who have donated and those who have received donations will be the guests of honor.
  • Concessions. Food and drinks will be provided.

This is a free event and the chalk will be provided. All participants will receive a gift bag and be entered into a drawing for a pair of Sea World tickets. STBTC is a non-profit organization that saves lives by providing the highest quality blood and components to patients.
