The I Madonnari Italian Street Painting Festival is adopting a virtual platform for its 35th annual event, scheduled for Saturday, May 29, through Monday, May 31. This year’s festival will incorporate a variety of sponsored chalk drawings on driveways by artists of all ages, from local students to professional artists. Photos of the artworks will be posted on the festival’s website and social media pages throughout the three-day event.
Funds raised during the festival will benefit the Children’s Creative Project (CCP), a nonprofit that serves roughly 50,000 students in more than 100 public schools in Santa Barbara and San Luis Obispo counties. Visit ccp.sbceo.org for more info.
