The ARTS District of Santa Barbara recently unveiled a street chalk painting in front of the Arlington Theatre. The artwork was done in collaboration with the Children’s Creative Project (CCP) on its signature fundraiser I Madonnari.
I Madonnari is the Italian Street Painting Festival whose many pieces can still be viewed outside the Santa Barbara Mission.
The ARTS District partnered with area artist Ann Hefferman this year to bring the spirit of I Madonnari to its neighborhood downtown in support of the festival and the Children’s Creative Project, which brings arts education programs to schools throughout the county, CCP said.
The Children’s Creative Project reaches some 50,000 children annually, in 100 Santa Barbara and San Luis Obispo county schools. For more, visit www.ccp.sbceo.org…
