We, at the Museum of Contemporary Art Santa Barbara (MCASB), were thrilled to kick-off Fiesta weekend with the opening reception of Bloom Projects: Brian Rochefort, Absorption by the Sun! Not only was it an amazing event for our community to come together to celebrate contemporary art, it was the first solo institutional exhibition of Los Angeles, California-based artist Brian Rochefort.
Bloom Projects features newly commissioned artwork by regional, national, and international emerging or under-recognized artists. All of us at MCASB are privileged to have been a part of this inaugural moment at the beginning of the Brian Rochefort’s career.
It is thanks to the crucial support of our members that we are able to present world-renowned contemporary artists, musicians, architects, and designers to our community, and in doing so, redefine the role of contemporary art in our amazing city of Santa Barbara.
