Throngs of art enthusiasts will have the opportunity to admire locally produced street paintings in coronavirus-friendly, socially distanced style during the 35th I Madonnari Italian Street Painting Festival on May 29-31. Artists of all ages and stages will fan out on driveways, sidewalks, and South Coast nooks and crannies to offer inspiration and raise funds for arts education across three counties.

“I Madonnari is a great cultural event that brings in potential tax dollars, money spent on local business as well as raising money for a good cause,” said Megan DeLoreto of Loreto Plaza, a family-owned business that has sponsored the event for more than 30 years.
