I Madonnari
Madonnari, or street painters, transform the Mission plaza using pastels on pavement to create
150 vibrant and colorful, large scale images. We are proud to be the first to bring this romantic
festival to the western hemisphere from our sister festival in Grazie di Curtatone, Italy. The festival
benefits the Children's Creative Project, a nonprofit arts education program of the Santa Barbara
County Education Office. The Project serves 50,000 children in more than 100 schools with visual
and performing arts workshops and performances throughout Santa Barbara and San Luis Obispo counties.
