Chan, Hefferman and Schwartz collaborated last year on a 48-foot-by-12-foot depiction of Thomas Hart Benton’s “Achelous and Hercules.” The street painting image is featured on this year’s I Madonnari Festival poster.
Festival aficionados can enjoy a hint of I Madonnari at home with a poster, set of note cards, coloring book, or tote bag sold on the festival’s shop. A new festival t-shirt and 2021 poster also will be available. Each item features images from street paintings, and the funds raised support the Children’s Creative Project (CCP).
CCP is a nonprofit arts education organization administered by the Santa Barbara County Education Office. CCP serves some 50,000 students in more than 100 public schools in Santa Barbara and San Luis Obispo counties. Its mission is to engage all students in the creative process through visual and performing arts education and cultural experiences.
