Summer’s in the rearview mirror!?

We trust you have enjoyed the Surf Bayan Summer brought to us by the Santa Barbara Magazine’s collaboration with DJ Javier with this collectible artist special issue. We’re grateful to the Santa Barbara Magazine team and congratulate them on their 50th anniversary summer issue.

If you haven’t read DJ Javier’s story it’s not too late! Click the button below for the digital version of the magazine and keep those freewheeling beachy summer art vibes on deck just a little bit longer.

We’ve just started installation for DJ Javier: San Milano Drive and look forward to welcoming you back to the museum this fall!

DJ Javier: San Milano Drive

DJ Javier: San Milano Drive
October 5, 2025 – April 26, 2026

“San Milano Drive is not only the street that I grew up on, but it represents my Filipino-American story. The Convergence of culture, perspective, identity, and community. A love letter to all the things that influenced and raised me. San Milano Drive is what it looks like to honor your family’s story, but also write your own.” – DJ Javier

We want to share the excitement by inviting you to the Opening Reception on October 5, from 12:00 – 4:00 pm! See you at the museum!
