Power of an Arts Education Springs to Life with Children’s Creative Project
Thousands of students benefit annually from music, dance, theater and visual arts programs funded in part by popular I Madonnari Italian Street Painting Festival
The annual I Madonnari Italian Street Painting Festival at the Santa Barbara Mission helps provide 80 schools with performances and workshops in dance, theater, music and visual arts. The COVID-19 crisis has shut down the festival, but a road show of sorts is being planned for 2021. (Brooke Holland / Noozhawk file photo)
