This weekend wrapped up the annual Madonnari Festival in downtown Puerto Vallarta with nearly 60 artists of all ages presenting their work Sunday to hundreds of spectators.
Madonnari, or street painters, each year transform Puerto Vallarta’s square into an over-sized street easel using pastels on pavement to create vibrant and colorful, large scale images in a 3-day artist contest.
Madonnari art, sometimes referred to as “I Madonnari” began in Italy, hence the use of the letter “I” in the name when done outside of Italy. Originally the artwork was done drawing the image of the Madonna on . . .
