The 15th Annual Italian Street Painting Festival was held in San Rafael, California this past weekend. It’s a yearly fundraiser to raise money for Youth in Arts, which provides art education opportunities for local students. I took these pictures on Saturday when many of the painting were still unfinished, with the eerie feeling of faces beginning to emerge from the depths of the blacktop. I recorded a short podcast (about 3 minutes long) featuring an interview with a visitor from southern California and a local art teacher who brought students to paint squares. The music in the background is from a fantastic teen a cappella group called “Til Dawn“.
