Festival

The Chalk-eclipse is an annual regional junior high and high school chalk competition held on the SIU campus. This year the artwork will explore eclipse related imagery. The Chalk-eclipse competition is organized by local art educators with the help of SIU ArtED. It is hosted on campus by the Art Education Nation RSO.

The Unity Point School Band and Choir will be joined by members of five other local schools to present a concert celebrating the total eclipse. The concert will feature three world premieres including a band piece written specially for the total solar eclipse.
