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.
