\"AtSANTA BARBARA, Calif. – The popular I\u2019Madonnari Street Painting Festival brings more than 25,000 people to Mission Santa Barbara each Memorial Day Weekend to view amazing art \u2013 temporarily presented on asphalt in chalk, but as dramatic as paintings you might see in any museum. This year’s fun will take place May 25-27, so mark your calendars.<\/p>\n

Not only is the weekend an amazing period of frenzied creativity and chalk dust on the artists\u2019 clothes, but all the proceeds go to benefit a great local program, the Children\u2019s Creative Project, which helps return arts programming and education to Central California\u2019s budget strapped schools.<\/p>\n

Yardi<\/a> is a sponsor of the event and \u00a0also a sponsor of the Children\u2019s Creative Project, which has helped bring in school visual and performing arts education to more than 50,000 students at 100 school campuses.<\/p>\n

Students participate in the chalk art creation, working alongside talented professional artists, amateurs, and volunteers.<\/p>\n
