Event Description
Italian Street Painting Expo (ISPE) - Italian Street Painting Expo is an annual event at the Palo Alto Festival of the Arts. On Tasso Street the street is blocked off for the creation of beautiful chalk art pictures drawn directly on the pavement by both professional artists and young children during the weekend - in centuries-old tradition of Madonnari Italian Street Painting.
