Supporting Our Community
Since 1999, the Rotary Club of Oak Ridge has sponsored the annual Street Painting Festival. Your donation supports this showcase for local artists and provides vital scholarships to Roane State students, helping provide an educated workforce for our region.
Over the past 25+ years, your generous contributions have allowed Roane State to award scholarships valued at over $300,000 and provided a venue for artists of all ages to share their work at no cost. Roane State and the Rotary Club of Oak Ridge greatly appreciate your support.
Join us for a day of music, games, and local vendors while supporting a great cause!

Become a 2026 Sponsor
Festival sponsors purchase sidewalk squares for the artists. The squares are marked with the sponsor’s name, ensuring artists can participate at no charge and providing funds for Roane State student scholarships! In addition, sponsors are recognized before, during, and after the festival. The more a sponsor donates, the more squares are marked with their name!
