The SUPER SQUARE is a beloved collaboration created by CCP Legacy Street Painters—bringing together community, creativity, and generations of artists into one powerful shared canvas.

Each year, this special piece becomes a living patchwork of color and expression, where individual voices come together to form something bigger, bolder, and beautifully unified.

Special thanks to this year’s SUPER SQUARE sponsors: Giordano Family

🎨 Featured Artist Spotlight: Marlon Yanes ( )

We’re so excited to welcome back Marlon Yanes to I Madonnari Street Painting Festival!

A returning artist with us, Marlon has shared their incredible talent with our festival before—and we’re thrilled to have them back on the pavement bringing his bold color, expressive detail, and signature storytelling style to life once again. Marlon will be creating a street painting 16 feet by 12 feet at the steps of the Old Mission Santa Barbara.
There’s something special about artists who return to this tradition—the work deepens, the connection grows, and the pavement becomes a familiar canvas for new magic ✨
Come watch Marlon create live over Memorial Day Weekend!

A special spotlight on two incredible partners who help bring I Madonnari to life each year ✨

We’re so grateful for our partnership with National Charity League and Boys Team Charity—where students and their families come together in service, generosity, and community spirit. CCP works alongside a group of youth leaders from both oganizations who help produce the festival and manage everything from inventory, volunteer coordination, customer sales and more!

Their dedication adds heart, energy, and purpose to every corner of the festival, helping keep the magic of I Madonnari alive for all who attend 🎨

Thank you for being such an essential part of this tradition 💛
