Sidewalk Artists Sent Packing

If you have enjoyed the chalk street art on King Street the last few weeks, you're out of luck now.
Artist Eric Couture tells CHSJ News he's been told by the police that he can no longer draw on the sidewalk.

He says it's because chalk art is considered graffiti and he gets caught doing it again on City property he will be fined.

He said his girlfriend has done chalk art all over Canada and this is the first time they have been told not to do it.
He says they have been doing street art as an alternative to pan-handling.
