Gas South District, in partnership with Sugarloaf Community Improvement District and the Hudgens Center for Art & Learning, will host Draw the District: A Chalk Arts Festival on Saturday, March 7, bringing a free, community-wide celebration of art, culture, and creativity to the campus.

In addition to live chalk art, Draw the District will include a small artist market, food vendors, and family-friendly interactive elements. The event will also feature live performance moments throughout the afternoon, with participating arts organizations to be announced.
Draw the District will take place alongside several major campus events, creating an engaging, high-energy atmosphere throughout the day.
