Chalk Walk
HISTORY OF
STREET PAINTING:
Thought to have originated in Italy in the 16th century, street painting is a growing event at many community festivals. Originally, the artwork was of a religious nature, therefore the artists were called, “Madonnari”. Vagabond artists would travel throughout Italy between festivals living solely on the coins tossed onto or next to their drawings as homage to the Madonna or possibly to their abilities. For centuries the Madannari were true folk artists, but suffered a decline after World War II.
