Santa Barbara I Madonnari

to May 27

Santa Barbara I Madonnari

The Santa Barbara I Madonnari Street Painting Festival presents the rare opportunity to view artists of all ages create street paintings ranging from classical to original images.  The annual three-day festival is held on Memorial Day Weekend at the Old Mission Santa Barbara.

Street painting is a performance art where the drawings will, over time, fade due to wind and rain. Its focus on the creative process rather than the product is at the heart of the Festival and the mission of the Children’s Creative Project, a nonprofit arts education program of the Santa Barbara County Education Office.

Lake Worth Beach Street Painting Festival
Feb

to Feb 25

Lake Worth Beach Street Painting Festival

Over 600 artists use the pavement as canvas to transform downtown Lake Worth Beach into a temporary outdoor museum of original art and masterpiece reproductions. The tradition of street painting traced back to 16th century italy when itinerant artists would use their chalks to transform pavement into a makeshift canvas, street painting has retained its appeal through the centuries. As in ages past, crowds gather to watch as fine works of art emerge. The “paintings” last only until the next rain, but the lively spirit and accessibility of the exhibition captivates audiences and inspires lasting memories
