Every city and town should have a street painting event or festival. Why? They’re easy to produce, they cost virtually nothing in start up costs, and they offer everyone an opportunity to participate. Here are a few in California!
Dating back to 16th century Italy and originally called madonnari, they derived their name from murals made of chalk with themes of the Madonna.
