The Santa Barbara Street Painting Festival I Madonnari returns and will be taking place from 10 am to 6 pm (free admission) on May 28th, May 29th, and May 30th in front of the steps of the Old Santa Barbara Mission!

The I Madonnari Festival is the first of its kind in North America. The Festival presents the performance art of street painting and raises vital funding for the Children’s Creative Project (CCP), a nonprofit arts education program of the Santa Barbara County Education Office.
