Happy New Year from Wendy and I at Blog Now on streetpainting.tv! We are very excited about 2013 in terms of the festivals and events for the street painting community and are sharing what we are seeing. stay tuned on developments for these festivals, events, and sharing of pictures from our experiences over the years.
We are particularly happy to see the return of one of our favorite street painting festivals, albeit in a new form - The festival is now Italian Street Painting Marin, scheduled for June 29th and 30th, 2013, led by Festival Director Sue Carlomagno! As a historical note, it is at the former Youth in Arts Italian Street Painting Festival in which I street painted for the very first time in 2001, and we see where that has led as a street painting artist! Again very happy to see these developments and hope to be sharing more about the Festival with our readers during 2013!

Street painting between the Sun and the clouds, framed by the Sierra Madre, the Cerro de las Mitras, the Cerro del Topo and our flagship Cerro de la Silla. It has been a unique experience, and perhaps even repeatable.
This experience, Festival Bella Via, reaffirms as a cultural gesture, and socially strengthens as a formative activity, and service vocation to the citizen.
During the two days of the realization, we were visited by around 20,000 spectators, who came to live the already traditional ephemeral art of the FBV. To the beating of drums, and our flag (Mexico) hoisted, the soil of the Esplanade from the viewpoint of the bishopric, was covered with art centenary art madonnari...
